Beyond Pronouns: Don’t Call Her My Wife
Manage episode 437383953 series 3596748
Just because a lesbian couple is married does not mean they really want you to call them “wives.” We can’t totally explain it, we just know it’s true. In this episode, we have fun musing over the reasons for our mutual distaste for the term ‘wife.’
We also share some personal stories about other terms you could use, along with a funny, awkward anecdote from the era before such broad social awareness of the LGBTQ community, that exists now.
We start discussing the main topic at around 8:15 into the episode.
