i love this!!!! i will share a story with y'all: over a decade ago at a fem-centered music fest called Titwrench in Denver at a now closed diy warehouse space called Rhinoceropolis (closed after the Ghostship fire, sadly, as there was a targeted effort across the nation to close radical spaces like this with the excuse of a fire hazard to make way for gentrification...anyway...) i was sporadically fake married to my best friend and fake lesbian lover at the time. there was a clothing installation in which you opened up a wrapped present of clothing, and i opened what seemed to be a wedding dress!!! my best friend who is a real lesbian was like "let's get married" and our friend sporadically fake married us in the crowd at this music fest. at the time we had been play pretending a fake lesbian relationship (altho i am bell hooks' definition of queer (i have to make spaces for myself )- i am sexually straight.... i was super heart broken from my first love and my lesbian best friend and i had this fake relationship going on where we would leave eachother love notes to our fake names ..... sono calabrese and i didn't know there was actually a REAL southern italian tradition of fake marriage! i guess it was in my bones... the person who fake married us also shares ancestry from sud italia .... le sigh, we are magnificent ... sparkle xoxo
