We set aside time tonight to click through looking at things, and started with this block post on how to get started.

Unfortunately, along with the helpful link to actually get started, we also encountered heterosexism and stereotyping. We are two women getting married, and while we’re still moving forward with your registry, the post being clearly written to a certain type of hetero woman put a damper on our experience. I imagine the same might be true for those straight men who defy the stereotypes and enjoy shopping more than their wives. I know you need to reach out to your target audience, but I challenge you to do it in an inclusive way.
