how do they represent the queer community?

”Being a queer couple and J being trans masculine non-binary…” 🤨

I'm GC as they come but I don't like this. It's a couple talking about their wedding, which looks glorious and very expensive. How they choose to define themselves is up to them. I may not think the way they do but it does not affect me. Why ridicule this couple to make your point?
Are they claiming to represent the entire gay community? Some really nasty comments on this thread.
I'm so glad my loved ones aren't rich enough to have their wedding written up in Vogue.

😆😆😆😆

It looks like a brilliant wedding, and a very expensive one. (I idly wondered if the Winkelried parents prefer a transmasc nonbinary offshoot to a lesbian daughter.)

But, bloody hell, how did the nuptial couple find the time to attend their wedding in between costume changes?! I did actually like all their outfits - they had so very many!

‘Liking the brain cells I have left’ is the best line I’ve read in a long time.

Absolutely no need to apologise, I hate it when people are snarky or snippy on here and I realise I may have almost strayed into that with my original post. So I'm sorry too. Let's draw a line under this outflowing of slight misunderstandings and mutual apologies. As we say in Ireland, 'sure you're grand!'

It's a shirt style jacket.

A shacket is a cross between a shirt and a jacket. So a lightweight type jacket that looks like a shirt.

I'm glad everyone else read the article, to save me the trouble!

Does anyone know what a shacket is? (My phone recognised the word...)

Yes they are both female. It's just all gobbledegook labels they are lesbians getting married.

Then I apologise unreservedly for having misunderstood your comment. In my defence I had my menopause brain fog head on yesterday morning.

Fair comment

I could be wrong but I think @AnnaMagnani was saying that this is a "normal lesbian wedding" in the sense that a biological woman is marrying another biological women, regardless of how either of them presents or what pronouns they use.

My question was about a 'normal lesbian wedding' involving 'one femme and one butch', which in my experience is not the norm.

Not much passes me by, certainly not gay marriage

'I love that being queer allows us to both experience the magic of a proposal. We think everyone should have that!'

I didn't read the whole thing so - how is this any different to what everyone does? Did they each propose to the other?

DH & I both experienced the magic of a proposal. After living together for several years & telling everyone we'd never get married, we were lying in bed on a Sunday morning & I said to him, "I've been wondering if we should get married," & he said, "I've been thinking the same thing," & that was that. Magical enough that I still remember it, over 40 years later (& still together).

I expect you and I will disagree on a lot of things and I'm not going to get into it on a thread where your bad faith approach is so manifestly obvious.

There are a lot of people out there that may have concerns about many different things but they are not starting snide threads to encourage sneering, hostility and vitriol towards a couple of their wedding day.

So in that respect, just own it, you want to encourage a culture of hostility towards trans/ non-binary people.

If you wanted to actually discuss issues you could have started a non-personal thread to do that.

You didn't do that, you posted a 'genuine question' 🥱 that was actually a ruse to encourage the expression of ridicule and hatred to a couple on their wedding day. Just own it.

I understand your concerns and it is the saddest part of allowing Stonewall to false team T with LGB. I have family and friends who are lesbian and gay who lived quiet lives with their partners and spouses with complete acceptance.

The utter narcissists driving the TQ+ agenda have no shits to give about about LGB or truely trans people. When the pendulum swings they will quietly disappear into the woodwork and the LGB will pay the price.

It is time for LGB to stop being kind and call for a divorce from this forced marriage.

Yes, it's so homophobic for the TQ+ to say that lesbians should be open to doing dick. No wonder the LGB people I know want nothing to do with pride and the so called LGBTQ+ community, it's deeply regressive.

Send it in. You might get a tenner.

Maybe the TQ+ community should stop making the LGB community look ridiculous.

It's not for shits and giggles for me. It's deadly serious.

It is my friends and my community that is on the receiving end of this hatred, this normalising of ridicule towards them and this increasing antipathy that is seeping into all areas of their lives. It flourishes as a result of threads like these.

And I will be next in line of course. Everyone should know the prejudice does not start and end with trans people, it migrates stealthily to gay and lesbian people, make no mistake.

It's a fluff piece in a vapid magazine.
