The Lesbian Take

MC Hutson Press

Lesbians (homosexual women) are facing a virulent new strain of modern homophobia, and the bitter irony is that it’s not coming from our old adversaries, but from people loudly proclaiming themselves our allies. Lesbian erasure is spreading like wildfire, and we will go extinct if we do not act. Now, more than ever, it is important for lesbians to take a stand, making and promoting content that is for us by us. On this podcast, we say what many lesbians know but are terrified of voicing. Our aim is to address lesbian issues and subjects that matter to us.
