“lesbians are coming out”, a poster by see red women’s workshop, 1982

“one day, i was reading a book about lesbians and my son came into the room and asked me to read from the book to him. so, i began to read to him, and the word lesbian came up somewhere in the few paragraphs that i read, and he said, “what’s a lesbian?” and i told him, “a woman that loves women and makes a life with a woman as a companion.” so he said, “oh, so that’s what you do.” i said, “yeah.” he said, “so that means you’re a lesbian.” and i said, “yeah.” and he said, “but mommy, i thought you were a virgo” from the documentary film choosing children: launching the lesbian baby boom, 1985

a comic drawn by leslie ewing published in the program guide for the march on washington for lesbian gay and bi equal rights and liberation, april 1993

[ID: a comic with two lesbians. one, in a shirt that says “deaf ‘n’ dykey,” does an old sign for “lesbian.” the other, in a wheelchair, thinks “yess!!” end ID.]

[bostonfleetbutch]

additional context for the sign: this sign for “lesbian” is in the same place as “bad” or “wrong,” so it’s less politically correct today, and often reclaimed. think “lesbo” or “dyke”

[lesbianherstorian]

thank you so much for this context!!
