Lesbian Visibility Week is for female homosexuals
Lesbianism has been made invisible for a variety of homophobic reasons. Heteropatriarchal society denied that female homosexuality was possible in history, which is the epitome of invisibility. But is today much different? Lesbians can’t even have Lesbian Visibility Week (LVW), beginning April 20, to themselves without including everyone who identifies as “queer,” or else we’re…

Lesbianism means female homosexuality. It refers to a class of women who are incapable of experiencing sexual attraction towards males, only towards females. Without the word lesbian, we don’t have language to describe ourselves. Some women, mainly bisexuals, argue that lesbians should surrender our word and identity for non-lesbian women to refer to themselves as…

Butch knight game 1348 Ex Voto shares issues with early lesbian film
It’s been a month since the 3rd-person action-adventure game 1348 Ex Voto was released. We felt promised a lesbian love story set in 14th-century Italy, inspired by chivalric tropes, where butch lesbian Aeta journeys to save her beloved, Bianca. Homophobic gamer bros hated it before it came out–not only was it “too woke” for them,…

Anne Lister and Ann Walker considered themselves married 192 years ago on Easter Sunday. Although same-sex marriage wasn’t legal at the time, the church they symbolically tied the knot in–Holy Trinity, on Goodramgate–has since been described as the birthplace of lesbian marriage. The church now needs help fixing its 17th-century gate that Walker and Lister…

Yesterday’s Cigarette: A Puerto Rican lesbian comes out in 1990s NYC
I usually do not smoke yesterday’s cigarette, but today I am desperate. Did I make the right decision to leave the New York City/New Jersey area to head North? “Don’t look back,” I tell myself, but that’s hard to do when the most electrifying part of my life happened there. It all started in the…
