Happy Lesbian Visibility Day! 💖🧡🤍 In honour of today, we thought we’d talk about all the time we were NOT visible 😭 Are there any other lesbian couples out there who experience the same thing??
My girlfriend and I have a list on this as well- this seems to be a common occurrence 😭😭
❤🏳️🌈♀️
Today, actually, me and my girlfriend were hanging out and her friend asked if we were siblings 🤣 So since today I've also decided to keep a list!
I mean, we may look KINDA similar, but she's quite a bit taller than me and her hair's brown - mine's dark blonde that's a little brown in some parts. Idk. I never really thought we looked that similar for anyone to mistake us as siblings but I guess there's a first time for everything!
@@dragon-born-nerd Weird but Common
MY DAD SAW YOU GUYS ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN AND ASKED IF YOU WERE SISTERS 😭😭😭😭😭
omfg this is too funny!!!
I thought the same when I first saw their thumbnail, in fact I thought they were twins 😂❤
oops 🙈
People thinking your sisters potentially can keep you safe in some situations
this is true!
Funny thing that as a cis straight man when I have been somewhere with my sister people think that we are couple. Society should change that much that man and woman together are not necessarily couple and woman and woman or man and man can be couple.
yes exactly! i'm sure this happens allllll the time to actual siblings 🥲 sucks just as much as it does the other way around ahha
this!
The kid story is sooo insanely cute. I had a kid do the same to me (female) with my friend (male) before i was out, because him and i seem like we were together but were just close friends. Still the best story of kid interactions. Ps. Love you both so much, you make me very happy anytime i feel down❤
aww hahah kids say the cutest most innocent things
We don't look alike so never got the 'are you sisters?' question, but we have two kids, so we seem to constantly get people assuming we're mom friends. The strangest one was an ultrasound appointment when someone assumed the same thing about being mom friends. Not that I don't think two friends would go to an appointment together, just weird that was their first thought given most of the time from what I hear, it's more of a couple's thing.
Always love your videos by the way.
Best way to end the day: a Lauren Eloise video!!
awww :') best comment to read
Or start 😊
naw you guys 🫶
this is how i’m starting my day
It’s always funny when people mistake people as siblings it’s happened to me and my friend as well and it always gets us laughing
gotta just laugh it off
Funny story, I was dating someone and we're different races and look totally different. We got asked if we were friends, then we got asked if we were siblings (the person asking tried to make it funny like "oh so you're from different parents") and then asked if we were friends, again, and when we corrected the person and told him we were dating, he was so confused he just walked away.
My girlfriend and I have different colored hair and eyes, different face shapes and features, and body types and we have still been asked many times if we are sisters or even twins. I think it is just a thing for many lesbian couples, unfortunately.
A lot of couples do look similar, so I can sort of see what people are saying, but also you are clearly not sisters… My Dentist once called my mum my sister, and she dose not look my age. Haha 😅 Also, congratulations! I am so happy for you two! You two are such the perfect couple, and are truly what I hope to achieve in my future relationships. 😊
Two things. 1) Gal Pal, I hope the foot recovery is going well. 2) I think you girls might have started something, because no we are maybe gonna start count the days until we get a proposal video. I know you girls are still looking at rings, but still. Amazing video.
Congratulations🎉 🏳🌈🩷🤍🧡
P. S this video made me laugh so hard❤
Omg!!! Yay a video!!! Imo I don't think you 2 look alike at all haha, love the video ❤
yaaayyy! hahah good to know 😆 also, glad u enjoyed this one lottie!
@@laurenelloise always love them!!
:')
New Lauren video? Almost right after my birthday (where i recieved some of your wonderful merch)? THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
Oh my gosh happy (belated) birthday!! hope you had the best day! also omg yayay hope you love the merch! ty for supporting my channel
I would totally assume you're a couple first, then try to convince myself you're just sisters because you DO look very similar.
I remember my boyfriend telling me that a few years ago he was in a similar situation in a estate agents and they just casually asked are you related. So he signalled to his then boyfriend to move closer and they snogged for at least 3 minutes in front of everyone..Their final words were "Do you get it" They got their flat,,The break ups another story lol
Hi Lauren and Gal Pal! Love this video its so funny and wholesome. Thankyou for all the effort you put into these videos. Sending all love from WA ❤
hiiiiii thank you so much!! naww sending love back from nsw!!
Omg new video yay!! I love your videos🫶💕
Yay! Thank you! glad u love them 💜
Oh my goodness the outro music was such a throwback to the old videos awwwww made me so happy also so happy for you and Erin!! I love your videos you two look so happy ❤️❤️❤️
you noticed 🥹🥹🥹 i wasn't sure if anyone would notice! i watched an old video and was like ... wonder if i can throw that in a new video for nostalgia! ahahah also tysm!!!
AHH! Congrats on looking at rings 😍🎉
Can’t wait for you next video
You know it’s a good day when Lauren posts!
this comment makes me smile :')
I think it happens more to homosexual couples, but this used to happen to my parents as well! The funny thing is that they're from completely different countries (my dad is Colombian, and my mom is Italian) so HOW
HAPPY LESBIAN VISIBILITY DAYYYYYY (i didn't even know this day existed but im so glad i know now :3) My girlfriend and i apparently "used" to look similar and someone thought we were sisters (even though i was a whole head taller than her) and our music teacher called me by her name the other week and didn't correct it- it was very funny. I don't think we look similar at all but others do for some strange reason =v=
u two look so cute together like always!!
naww thank u sm!!
You guys are awesome content creators... Like god tier on youtube ❤
Wow, thank you! :')
Don't you wanna make a "No, we're not sisters." shirt? :D
👀✍️✍️✍️
Lol. This makes me think of supernatural and how everyone always thinks Sam and Dean are a couple instead of brothers.
And also makes me think if RENT: “Hey Mister. We’re sisters!”
Salvatore brothers as well?
Well watched the whole video now and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much, you guys make me happy. I know ppl will comment it's because there gay and I am a straightish male, well not true, I don't watch channels based on the sexual orientation of content makers I base it on whether or not I liked it and was I entertained and the answer to both is yes 😁😁. So no hate directed at me please. 👍👍👍👍👍
This song a couple thing, but one time me and my mum were at the pool and this lady came up to us and said something and thought we were sisters
There's a 35 year age gap between us😂
oh my lord, im hoping the situation ended up being a huge compliment to your mum 😬
People always thought my mom was my sister and people think my younger sister is my mom…
Ive seen that so many times. I dont see how you look the same❤ but i do see that you both look beautiful ❤😊
Love you guys ❤️ 🏳️🌈 love your videos ❤
Happy Lesbian Visibility Week ❤🏳️🌈
Me and my wife are not usually asked if we are sisters but I think some people from my college may have caught on, as I spend a lot of time with my wife during the day, this sounds horrible but I promise she is 32 and I’m 28 but she’s one of my professors so it gets a little tricky because obviously we don’t want to tell everyone but also don’t want to have to be away from each other all day.
Hiiii! ❤ Im so so so glad I found this channel it’s so amazing I only found it today but wish I had found it sooner ❤!! But I’m really really stuck because I’m 13 and lesbian 💖🧡🤍 and I’m also extremely introverted 😢 I’m only out to 4 ppl ALL of them lgbtq+ but I really want to come out to my parents and brother (my extended family too) I js don’t know how… any tips? I would rlly appreciate it if u could reply ❤️ and yeah this is already one of my fav channels ❤❤❤
My friend saw me watching this and said you looked like sisters before he even read the title lol
oh my god hahaha point proven 😭
I do see the similarities and why some may think you're related but i guess just the similar hair colour and sometimes style but its funny you made the list out of it and laughing about it
Congratulations!
I had the reverse. I (male) went on holiday with my son (30 years younger) to Mexico - the staff and fellow guests assumed we were boyfriends from the off (the rose petals strewn over our beds was a nice touch, the restaurant table away from the other guests not so much!). We went with it for a few days until revealing the truth.
At real that make your relationship cuter than ever
I've heard before that people who are very, very close catch a glimpse of each other's resemblance,,, If they are couples, friends or anything
You guys are so cute together I love your videos ❤
Eeee thank you soo much!!
@@laurenelloise no problem:)
Awesome video, ladies! You're great! Greetings from the EU!
Thanks so much!
@@laurenelloise Cheers! Have a nice day!
Happy Lesbian Visibility Day Lauren and Galpal. Excited to hear you're looking for engagement rings. I wish for you many happy years together, fishing and reading, reviewing, and camping. I know I'm guilty of telling you that your physical similarities, (Facial) can lead casual onlookers down the wrong path, but here's a twist for you. Erin, I think there is a chance that you and I are related. I suppose if you consider the "six degrees of Kevin Bacon", then we are all related, but you and I are both Middle - you Ton from Town and me Borough from smaller town. You don't have an ancestor, great - great - great - something named Walter Perchance. I guess I'm clutching at straws, ---- but you never know. 💛💜❤🧡💖
Sorry but I do think you look alike lol❤
You look more like sisters than me and my sister. 😅
I love you so much! I’m so glad to see you again. And be the way your eyes are so beautiful 🫶🫶🫶
aww thank you so much!!
I used to have a best friend when I was a kid who had the same dark brown hair & eyes as me but a very different face, and even the _teachers_ thought we were sisters 🤣
Sisters often have different last names since women change their last name when they marry (traditionally)
i have the oppesite problem: me & my brother look nothing alike & when i'm like *come one mom says we have to go* & like 5 times people have been like *you are sisters?*
I (female) was hanging out with a friend (female) and the guy working asked if we were on a date and then immediately followed that with "are you sisters?" Like, how and why would you go from one to the other?
lol damn, he must've been really confused 🥲
Nice
Wow you post amazing on ever video
It's great that you're able to laugh about it, although it must be really annoying to be asked if you were siblings.
This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions in wlw relationships. I heard it quite a few times from wlw friends of mine who look nothing alike.
Well, my gf is in a wheelchair and like 100% independent. and the amount of times I am called her attendant... no! A wheelchair does not come whit a butler!
So I do get the frustration
Can't imagine how frustrating that must be sometimes for you both!
@laurenelloise must be similar, sometimes just annoying, sometimes frustrating and sometimes we decide to play in and make a fool out of that person...
I'm new to this channel and my name is Lauren too
I have the opposite problem, people think me and my brother are dating 😭
oooof rip 🥲
I have gone out with my sister (hanging out) and we have gotten dirty looks from old people. (They thought we were a couple bc we do not look related 😂)
oh my lord. also to the old people: mind yo own business 🥲
@@laurenelloise literally 🙄
I honestly think it's fine not to come out to every single person. Sexuality is a part of who we are, but not the whole thing, and it kinda isn't other people's business. Straight people don't have to announce to everyone that they're straight, it only comes up really if they're talking about a partner.
That being said, I feel like it's far more common for a lesbian couple to be assumed as friends or sisters than a gay couple due to gender stereotypes, and that really frustrates me tbh.
Can u do reakcion on that awcvard magic pleaseeeee
Everyone at my school thinks me and my ex are twin sisters the funny thing is I’m a twin and everyone knows that, we don’t even look alike I’m a blonde with brown eyes oval face shape and small nose she has glasses brown hair blue eyes and a square face shape
My birthday is lesbian visibility day and i am a lesbian ☺️☺️
Leases are weird. My spouse is listed as my "roommate" on the lease, despite the fact that we have the same last name 😂
you know the saying ... "and they were roommates" 😆
I am 49 seconds in and I don't think you look like sisters. now back to the video.
Hola lauren.elloise gracias megusta
Glad to see the new vid yall ps . yall people are generally noisy
welcome back! i know right 😆 ohwell, asking if we're sisters is mostly harmless, we laugh it off
You look enough alike that I would ask "Did your girlfriends bail on you so you had to bring your sister" on a lesbian couples dinner...
No kidding, I more often assumes girls ARE lesbians when they aren´t, and I still would have guessed sisters on you, not twins, but absolutely sisters (luckily straight girls are much less offended by that then straight guys are atleast)
And for kids, they usually don't need any further explanation, they just accept that some girls have a girlfriend ant that's cool with them, that's so precious.
Most of these interactions sound like low effort small talk that the people think is inoffensive if their underlying assumption ends up wrong because they don't ever think about gay people. I think you look similar enough that I'm not surprised, but I wouldn't comment on it either because I don't care to do social niceties unless absolutely necessary.
You do look like twins haha
I got a really intelligent, kind, progressive, humorous, talented, beloved uncle and he's also gay and I must admit I am urged to tell other people about "my gay uncle". I think I really need to get this right in my head more. For me, it is just so much an indicator that he is progressive because anyone who is discriminated against is more likely able to understand other forms of discrimination as well. And I think that is ok. And also, it has something to do with visibility. But I need to think about that without reducing his whole personality to it, I guess. I'd also not like it if someone reduced me to my bisexuality. I think it's also my upbringing. My family very much reduced him to this. So I guess I need to unlearn this. Thanks for reminding me!
How are you
It is kind of curious that you get asked that so often. While you're not vastly different to each other, neither are you, as Erin put it, "structurally similar". (And twins? Seriously?? That would have had to be sororal twins, and then it would just be the sister question again.) On the other hand, siblings aren't necessarily very similar either, in fact, Lauren's actual sister (I forgot her name but she has participated in some videos) isn't that similar to Lauren that you would automatically go "yep, definitely sisters", at least not in my eyes.
I think it is a question of people's brains trying to come up with an explanation for your obvious closeness that doesn't involve "gayness". Now that could be anywhere from the benign case of people just not used to think in LGBTQA++ terms (so "sister" comes much quicker to mind than "lesbian couple") all the way up to active denial of your relationship (hopefully much less common).
❤❤❤
yooo congrats on being first
I think actually everyone is coming from the place of the 5 year old and realise you seem close but don't make the connection. The others should just know better than a 5 year old
I love the way you phrased this! most likely they just can’t figure out the connection haha
I mean you do look kinda alike? But then, not twins, not sisters but more like cousins.
I wanted to come out on the visibility day, but then saw it too late.
Sisters. Maybe, just maybe. Twins. What?? 😅
I know RIGHT!? the twins is a stretch for me
No, don't go telling you're a couple to complete strangers. You don't know them.
most of the time we don't! they don't need to know until they actually need to know for a specific reason
Omg you guys are so cute together I'm also lesbian from Italy if you have OF i would be spending a lot of money for you🤗
Well, you do look like you’re somehow related.
noooo 😭😭
For the record, I never thought you were sisters. I don't think you look alike.
You’re in the good books 👀
