Proposing to your special lady friend

Sistren, our state made us angry today. In an attempt to lessen our feelings of deep depression, Indigo Labrys suggested a blog post on proposing! Whether it be marriage, civil union-ship, domestic partnership, or just "special roommates" if that's all your state/geographic location allows, we are here to help. Here are some suggestions, let us know if you have more!

Totally lesbo places to propose:

• Obviously, the boudoir. 
• Your softball game- obviously you're on the same team
• Your knitting/sewing/craft circle
• Your local co-op, preferably in the organic food section, or by the kombucha
• A women's book store
• A ({}) bar
• At the dog park
• Karaoke bar
• Homo Depot
• The animal shelter, whilst picking out your third cat

Suggestions for popping the question:

• When she wakes up and is barely conscious, ask her to be yours forever before she has her wits about her, she's bound to say yes! When she seems confused about it later, keep up your enthusiastic gushing about your big day.
• Have the score keepers put it on the score board, and drop down on one knee at home plate. Go the extra mile and have the ring hidden inside a catcher's mitt, cut out softball, you get the idea, keep that creativity up my friend.
• Knitting the question in a nice afghan, or just the letters themselves. Kinda like in Charlotte's Web, but more awesome and less misogynistic.  
• What better way to say "I want to be your permanent soul bond" than during a domestic activity? Nothing says I love you forever like a routine trip to the store. Seal the deal by getting a family membership to the co-op!
• Choose some lesbian romance novels, or lesbo wedding ones, that can serve as a metaphor for your relationship (I do not suggest In Too Deep- shudder.). Browse these with your lady friend and then say you want this fiction to be a reality!
• Who doesn't love a proposal in front of a bunch of drunken, rowdy strangers? Popping the question at your local ({}) bar is a surefire way to get a lot of pats on the back and  free drinks from the other patrons. Get down on bended knee on the dance floor, and she's sure to swoon. Just make sure the song isn't so loud she can't hear you, or she may just think you're doing a weird dance move.
• Attaching the ring to your dog's collar- what better way to propose than to include your fur child in the event? And if she says no, you can claim he stole the ring from someone else! It's a win-win.
• Sing her a special love song at karaoke (Indigo Labrys can give you some ideas- but be cautious in taking her recommendations, dear sistren), and then get down on one knee. The other lady's at the bar are sure to cheer you along!
• Go buy some permanent glue or those screws that you'll never get out of the wall again, and tell your lady friend that you want this to last forever. Then go pick out some lovey-dovey paint colors and new curtains so that your love can be visualized.
• Go find one of those kitties whose meow sounds like "I love you" and you're golden! What a great way to tell your lady friend that you want to make an honest kitty-mommy out of her?

 No matter the situation where you live, we hope this helps you. Perhaps in a later post we'll suggest romantic words to utter at this crucial moment.
