Say yes to the lez: 25 jaar homohuwelijk
Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712 KN GroningenA unique evening full of queer joy, sapphic chaos, and everything in between, celebrating 25 years of same-sex marriage in the Netherlands!
In 2001, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to open up marriage to same-sex couples. Gay rights! Literally. Beyond equal rights, this was especially great news for the average decisive lesbian who moves in with her partner after just two weeks. Slay! Yet, only 38 countries have followed suit in the meantime, and we have to ask ourselves: can marriage not be a bit more 'queer'?
For Say Yes to the Lez, Annefleur Schipper and Vera Siemons transform into queer masters of ceremonies from De Lesbische Liga, putting the institution of marriage under a firm lesbian magnifying glass. From relationship tests and gay-lofts (instead of vows) to a first dance like never before, and the ritual cutting of an actual wedding-eierbal... And of course, plenty of queer pop culture where the choice is up to the audience: do I say yes or do I say no?
So, are you queer, an ally, or just in the mood for an evening of interactive chaos and humor, all wrapped in a playful wedding theme? Then come to Say Yes to the Lez with your partner, your ex, your situationship, or even as a single and leave married. We'll see you there!
