Dr Annise Mabry show

Summary: Jennifer Baumgardner, in the September 2007 edition of The Advocate magazine created awareness for a not-so-new-phenomen women who were once married with kids but leave their marriages for a woman after their children become more independent.  These women, knows as Lesbians After Marriage or LAM are defined as " the women who have tied the knot, procreated, and, once the children are out of the home or more independent, found love in the arms of a woman." Coming out is hard; but, coming out after marriage (or for many while still married) brings a whole new set of challenges.  This Sunday, is "kitchen table topic ".  We are going to give our listeners an opportunity to "sit" with us as talk about our experiences as either being a LAM or dating a LAM or choosing not to date a LAM. For many LAMs, this decision costs them more than they  could ever imagine.  So why do women who are lesbians get married to men in the first place?  And what about those women who choose to live a heterosexual life during the week but on the weekend, they become a "weekend lesbian". We will feature music by the talented Tabetha Durham.  Recorded with the bands Shallow Water  and the Forrest McDonald Blues.  She recently sang with Frisky Monkey ..on their latest CD "Involved but not Committed". Join us Sunday as we once again go live and get real!  Produced by Voice Republic For more podcasts visit http://voicerepublic.com
