Together for 16 months, Avian Watson and Chantrece Buggs met at a Traxx Girls event at Club Miami. But it was definitely not love at first sight.
“Her first words were, ‘You look like my ex girlfriend,’” Chantrece says.
“She favored an ex of mine and I immediately went the other way,” Avian adds with a smile.
But after time, the two struck up a friendship that developed into a relationship based on love, respect, attending church together and “adventure” dates.

Joining Hearts also organizes the annual Change of Seasons spring dance as well as the namesake Joining Hearts, the summer’s biggest (and gayest) pool party fundraiser held each year at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park.
Kerry Loftis, president of Joining Hearts, told GA Voice said this year’s fundraiser should be the largest Love on the Rocks event yet.

Imani Evans and SharRon Jamison, creator and co-founders of “Create Love for Women,” share a passion. As counselors and coaches, they began to see the need for women who love women to stop following the “failing” relationship template for heterosexual couples and forge a new way for women to move forward and be successful in their relationships.
What was born of their passion was the website/blog www.createloveforwomen.com and the upcoming “Create Love for Women” conference on Feb. 16 at the Downtown Decatur Marriott Hotel.
“The conference is for women who love women,” Evans says. “We don’t want to limit it to the term ‘lesbian’ because you can be bi-sexual, queer-identified... if you have intimate relationships with women, however you identify that, you are welcome.”

Marci & Marlysa Brooks-Alt
Together for 13 years (married for 10!)
What is a challenge you have faced as a couple, and how did you overcome it? What we find most challenging is keeping it fresh. We make sure to take at least two very long weekends without our children — keeps the romance and keeps us having time together.
What advice would you give to a couple just starting a relationship? The advice we would give any young couple is make sure you have open lines of communication and be honest with each other. This is so important.
