you say you're a lesbian and they hate you because they think your love is a sin, something disgusting, that goes against the laws of nature. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they say they don't care but don't want to see you kissing women because it disturbs them. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they watch you like they're watching porn, because they have a fetish on lesbians and masturbate watching two women having sex. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they're okay with it until you tell them you don't like dicks ; then you're a monster to them. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they reply "me too!" when they're a man. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they tell you lesbianism is a political choice. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they say they don't care but add that you must not have sexual thoughts about women, or it makes you the same as misogynistic men. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they assume you must have a male exception anyway. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they reply "same!" when they've had thousands of crushs on men in the past. you say you're a lesbian to someone else and they call you queer. you say you are a lesbian to another lesbian and she tells you that she's actually a straight guy. literally no one is normal about lesbians on this planet.

Hey! After talking about not just a lesbian but a lesbian couple yesterday in my post about Elisa y Marcela, I will do the same thing today ! This time, the two women are american. Their names are

Donna Burkett and Manonia Evans !

"I did not believe the government had any business telling me who I could marry."

This sentence aptly describes the convictions and state of mind of the two women in 1971.

This year, indeed, Donna Burkett and Manonia Evans applied to a Milwaukee County clerk for a marriage license, decades before their state legalized homosexual marriages. At the time, their story made the rounds of the national media and newspapers, attracting the hatred of some and the admiration of others. Such a bold move at a time when homophobia was so rife was bound to get people talking! They were the first same-sex couple to do such thing.

Aged 25 and 21 respectively, the two women had met in a gay bar. After being refused a license, they filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the denial of marital benefits, including inheritance rights and joint tax filings, did not afford them the equal protection granted by the Constitution. The complaint read, “The legal increments of marriage ought to be shared irrespective of generic differences, to wit: mutual fulfillment and happiness and the equal opportunity to share in the benefits of the law as those in heterosexual unions blessed by the civil marriage contract.”

Federal judge Myron Gordon dismissed the suit over "technical legal issues".

Meantime, Donna and Manonia still wanted to get married, so they invited 250 family and friends together on Christmas Day 1971 for a ceremony officiated by Joseph Feldhausen, a gay Russian Orthodox priest, in Milwaukee. Some members of their family, like Manonia's parents, were not present, not accepting this union, but the two women were OK with it, saying that it's part of life when you're gay.

Their wedding also made it to the news.

The results of their newfound fame were not positive ; the young couple’s friends shunned them, Donna lost her job, and Manonia got kicked out of school. Manonia’s father, a preacher, said he’d rather see his daughter dead than homosexual.

Unfortunately, the strain took its toll and eventually, Donna and Manonia split up. Both of them spent the rest of their life fighting for gay rights. Some years ago, Donna, who isn’t married even though she now has the right to, said that she doesn't care anymore, that she's happy with herself, but glad that young homosexuals can marry who they love. The two women haven't seen each other in many, many years.

It sounds like a very sad story indeed; their attempt to obtain the right to marry failed, their coming out caused them a lot of problems, and they ended up separating because of it all.

But this story and the determination of these two young women has encouraged many homosexuals to fight for the right to marry, and has definitely helped this cause achieve its goal.

Although their lawsuit was ultimately unsuccessful, the argument they used – equal protection under the Constitution – was cited by U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb more than 40 years later, when she overturned Wisconsin’s ban on same-sex marriage in 2014.

I personally love this story and think we should all remember it, as it is important in global lesbian history, and is so interesting and inspiring!

Funny how you were the person I hate the most and at some point one starts wondering; why am I thinking about this person? Now I understand… I hated it that you weren't mine.
