Deprived of mainstream recognition, lesbian partners must find alternative ways to imbue their partnerships with significance. In-depth interviews conducted with six lesbian couples over 10 years suggest that the telling of dramatic and collaborative relationship stories is a compensatory strategy for marginalization. Partners' story themes featured fateful first meetings and triumphs over adversity. The study suggests that the storytelling ability displayed in these interviews may be the hallmark of populations typically excluded from the dominant cultural narrative
