Gen Zers who are tired of being “broke, single, and lonely” are drawn to the idea of a rebranded “lavender marriage” as a way to enjoy marriage’s practical benefits without all the sex and romance.

Remember When Russian Pop Duo t.A.T.u Pretended To Be Lesbians?

“From the minute “All the Things She Said” hit the airwaves, there had been rumblings that the girls in t.A.T.u. weren’t actually lesbians. I mean, it makes sense; they were too stereotypical. The schoolgirl outfits, Julia’s spiky short hair, Lena’s long curls. It just feels like what two older straight men think lesbians look like.”
