"The One with the Lesbian Wedding" is the eleventh episode of the second season of the television sitcom Friends written by Doty Abrams, directed by Thomas Schlamme and first aired by NBC on January 18, 1996.
"The One with the Lesbian Wedding" is the second time same-sex marriage was depicted in a sitcom, along with the Roseanne episode "December Bride" that aired a month earlier.
At the reception, Susan thanks Ross for his part in saving the wedding, and offers to dance with him; he agrees, apparently resolving their strained relationship.
Two network affiliates refused to air the episode—KJAC-TV in Port Arthur, Texas and WLIO in Lima, Ohio—citing objectionable content, although the decision drew little press attention, partly due to the small size of the markets in question.
Roseanne had aired an episode just five weeks before called "December Bride" in which the title character coordinated and attended a wedding for her co-worker Leon and his partner Scott.
