Indeed! I knew Sue wrote it but it was Meg who recorded it. The video just said Sue Link.... or do I just need new glasses... which is a strong possibility!

This is a link to a photo essay about what a bunch of people --butches and Femmes very visibly so-- were doing in August 2005. I just wanted to send out a friendly, fun reminder about how much butches and Femmes have done over the years as leaders in justice movements for ALL people. This is just one example -- do you have other examples? Let's hear 'em!

fast forwarding a few years....
 

Excellent. Thanks for posting this.

Meg and Chris performing again!
 

We're heading out on one of the 40th anniversary Olivia Cruises and Meg and Chris, along with a lot of other original Olivia performers, will be on Board!

Anyone else going?

Here's hoping Meg performs this classic!!! (Or Sue :) )

We are going on the 2nd week, from Feb 3-10th. Which cruise will you be on?

Wow, Meg and Cris...that brings back memories! I myself came out in the '90s, but a former partner of mine came out in the '70s, and introduced me to all kinds of women's music. Changer and the Changed still brings me comfort.

I can only imagine how much fun it'd be to be on an Olivia cruise, though a b-f one would be even better! Scorp & I aren't much for cruises, though.

I so wanna! I missed the last one that left out of San Diego, but went to an Olivia "pre" party, and told myself I won't miss it again! The only thing about Olivia is that they are SO expensive compared to "regular" cruises that go to the same ports. I work on cruise ships as a sign language interpreter, and two of my friends work on the Olivia ships. They have it "locked down" but if there is ever an opening, I am taking it!! Where is this one leaving from??

Have fun!!

Same one!!!

Oh man!!! That is so cool!!!!! We will have to meet up!

Here.

I don't usually leap. I do have a dance pole though.

BUMP BUMP BUMP !!
 

It is 6:15 in the morning. I am just now drinking coffee so there will be no leaping, buuuuut. Hello :)

I inadvertently did a tiny leap in the playground today while watching lesbian friends watch their 16 month old twin girls play. I was wearing my leather jacket with an old-school denim overlay bearing the patch for our women's motorcycle club, of which I'm a founding member. I was on my way home from our annual Benefit Ride. This year we raised money for Queers For Economic Justice.

Yup. Some things don't change. Old school leaping lesbian here.

Given my knees, it's more like a lesbian shuffle but a lesbian none-the-less!

I would like to know what gay girls taste like compared to straight girls.... :tease:

I, too, am a lesbo :)

Another femme lesbian here. :)

We are all the same, regardless of our orientation.

:cheerleader:

Sorry, having trouble making sense- need my coffee right now.

Bye from another lesbian not exactly leaping this morning.

I looked in on this thread and saw a post by "Stoney" in 2013 ( maybe 4 posts back from today cause this thread appears to have been dormant till revived today) saying they'd like to lick a lesbian ( or something) then this follow up by Chinajewelry about doing taste tests on women. I went a little ways back in the thread to see where this came from and saw nothing except posts about cruises, motorcycle club...

I have to say I'm a bit disturbed by those posts. Anyone else find them as offensive as I do? Was this meant to be funny?

Oh gawd,I love lesbians..

:pacman:

I've got bad knees so I can't leap BUT I still try and let the other lesbians know I'm here:eyebat:

Does anyone know how to find community offline? There doesn't seem to be any groups for butches or lesbians in general? (I'm assuming because it's more socially acceptable to be a lesbian? Idk)

Maybe because I live in the greater LA area but when I put "Lesbian Meet-Up Groups Los Angeles", at least 15 pop up and, weekly, I am notified of new ones in LA and Orange County.

There are also LGBTQ meet-ups, including ones that welcome trans folks.

Do you live in a metropolitan area?
