Women and Same-Sex Marriage in Western History
Women and Same-Sex Marriage in Western History
The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast – Episode 24d
A survey of strategies for getting your historical protagonists hitched across the centuries.
In this episode we talk about
- How the concepts of “women”, “same-sex”, and “marriage” are being defined for the purpose of this discussion
- Cultures that may have supported marriage between women as an equal option
- Cases of same-sex marriage enabled by presenting as an opposite sex couple
- The permeability of the “opposite sex” requirement in actual practice
- Using the forms and rituals of marriage, even when the legal status was not available
