You were in love. The kind of love that makes people cross oceans, have babies, and grow old together. And if we were straight, we would’ve designed our whole lives around that. But two women…we had no words for it. No paradigm, nothing. 

…It may be impossible. But the truth is, we’re not done yet.

I knew what I was called to do, not as an individual — as part of my generation. It wasn't just me who heard the call, it was all of us.

“Coming out isn't something you do once. It's often in stages that grow in risk. To your friends and your community, your family. An ever-expanding, never-ending act of bravery” -  Roma Guy in When We Rise

The peace-movement kids, the women’s movement, the civil-rights fighters, all of the outsiders and outcasts - everything we read told us that San Francisco is where we, the “us-es”, could find safe harbor. So that’s where we went, on our own journeys to find freedom and shelter, all of the “us-es”.

We are tired of living in the closet because of the women’s movement.

I need to build a place in this city for women, run by women, for our protection... unless, of course, you're all afraid of us having something of our own, too.
