Fuck this butch straight woman erasure! Betty is a Rosie-The-Riveter type who was very straight. She was girl power before the spice girls made it sexy. She had the husband, the kids, the house, and STILL indulged in her passions of DIY and sports in a world that still wanted women to be dainty homemakers baking apple pies.

Before gay marriage was legal most places in the US I knew a couple of people that were married for this reason, minus the kids. I wonder if they ever got divorced.
