But all the stories I've been reading have one chick who's thin and tall, always wears pant suits or jeans or slacks, does all the butch-y things, and another one who's the cook, puts up the pictures .... is the more 'nurturing one,' a clearly demarcated separation of roles.
And at the weddings? It's always one with a tux, and the other one a dress. Come on! When will I read of two girls, both in gowns? I don't even mind both in jeans. I just don't like both women pretending to be a straight couple.
For the record, I had Helen (a recurring character in my stories) once marry an Indian woman, both of them dressed in sarees (and believe me, Indian sarees run the gamut from embarrassingly showy to stunning but understated).
In another story (Alexandra), there is a wedding, with both brides in gowns. So at least I've put my brides where my mouth is.
