Why it’s not old fashioned to want to get married – It’s hip to be square. I may have pink hair, and I may be dating a man who is polyamorous, but at heart, I’m really old fashioned.
I want the picket fence.

And I want to get married.
It can feel so hard to reconcile those desires with the rest of my queer, liberal ways.
I know I’m not alone in feeling embarrassed about wanting to get married some day.
It’s hard not to feel like getting married is “old fashioned” or “uncool”.
But then I got to thinking…
Since when has something being “cool” or not ever stopped me before?
If you’re worried that getting married is only for squares, maybe my thoughts on the matter will help change your mind.
Here are four reasons getting married doesn’t mean you’re old fashioned or not a good feminist:
1. People have been getting married for thousands of years.
You aren’t “weird” or “old fashioned” for wanting to get married!
People have been getting married FOREVER.
It’s normal and natural that you would see a tradition set by your own ancestors and want to take part in that.
Marriage exists for a reason, and the fact that people STILL get married is proof of it.
Is marriage hard? Sure. Are all marriages successful? Nope.
But none of that means it isn’t perfectly understandable that marriage is something you might want in your life.
