Lesbian feminism had a tremendous impact
on the personal and political experiences of more than one generation of women.
In 1972 a woman could be institutionalized for having sex with another woman;
by 1973 she could buy lesbian music, read lesbian books, and attend women-only lesbian events.
It is little wonder that many continue to identify with
lesbian feminism.
This web site Celebrates and Honors the existence of Lesbians who are OUT bravely and boldly challenging the meaning of "freedom and justice for all", through their expression of individualism in persuit of life's passions. Join us on this journey of discovery and celebration of life.
Does It Matter?
The eagerness on the part of lesbians to know the truth about the sexual orientation of public figures has little to do with prurience, but rather with a desire for honesty and a need for self-validation.
The need for validation makes coming out an important issue to the Queer public. For lesbians, particularly those living in oppressive locales, Queer public figures can provide much-needed representation.
Because such public figures are often looked up to as role models, the visibility of lesbians--- is a crucial step toward more widespread gay acceptance. Conversely, the failure to come out on the part of figures in the public eye sends a message that homosexuality or bisexuality is something shameful that needs to be hidden.
