Beyond Pronouns: Don’t Call Her My Wife

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.
