Lesbians on YouTube: Bria and Chrissy

by Lauren W

One thing has become pretty clear to us here at All Things Lesbian: You ladies love your real life YouTube couples. And whether you've heard of this one or not, you'll be sure to love them.

Lesbian couple Bria and Chrissy have been making YouTube videos since August 2012. And what for? In their words: "To help inspire and promote equality." Who needs a better reason than that?

We know, we know. Cute.

And guess what? They sing, too. That's right, they have an album coming straight to your ears in the near future.

The album, titled Face Your Fears, is not like previous music to come out of famous lesbian musicians. Without the restraint of an unsupportive manager, Bria and Chrissy make sure to use female pronouns in their songs and write love stories within their music about the love between two women. Right on!

The girls' YouTube channel also features videos of them showcasing their comedic talents (be sure to watch "10 Worst Ways to Come Out") and a few more solemn videos in which their share advice and some of their personal struggles, which often relate to being part of the LGBTQ community.

Melissa Etheridge splits up with her girlfriend

Okay, okay, I get that they were 'married' and I should have put 'wife' in the title, but you know how the American marriage system sucks for gay people? Yeah. That's why I didn't.

You may be thinking 'why do I care about these 2?'

Well, a) Melissa Etheridge is a folk singin', toe tappin' Queen and b) these pair were generally one of the most high profile lesbian couples around.

According to Tammy Lynn Michaels' (Etheridge's now ex-girlfriend) blog, the two have been on

the rock since January.

Huh! Who'd have thought it?

Anyway, it seems as though there's no official reason for their break-up as of yet, but the couple were together for 9 years and 'married' for a further 2. They also had twins, carried by Michaels, and Etheridge overcame cancer during their relationship.

Doesn't it suck when 2 people who seem like the happiest couple in the world actually aren't?
