Daybreak - Antonio Peticov (1982)

I wish more womyn would adopt the attitude that they can learn and do anything if they put their minds to it. No man would say he's fundamentally incapable of learning vehicle maintenance, carpentry, wood working, mechanics, handyman stuff, learning to use tools, etc etc. He just assumes he can learn how to do whatever strikes his fancy. Well so can we.

notice anything? notice anything missing? any commonality amongst all of these women that is being deflected from and obfuscated by unclear vague all-inclusive language?

lesbian. lesbian is the word for female homosexuals. not gay, not queer, lesbian. lesbian. lesbian. ellen did not come out as gay, she came out as a lesbian, melissa etheridge is not a queer rock icon, she is a lesbian rock icon, the wnba contains no gay players, it contains only lesbian and bisexual players, tegan and sara did not grow up gay, they grew up as lesbians, ellen degeneres did not have a queer talk show, she was a lesbian with a talk show. please please please just say lesbian it isn’t a dirty word. soon enough, the only exposure people will have to the word lesbian will be through bleached blonde straight girls with fake boobs and long french tip nails fondling each other on pornhub for male pleasure. when we talk about actual lesbians it is so important to use clear language and say LESBIAN!!!!!!!

btw these are just a few quick examples I found in about 2 minutes, but there are literally thousands of examples on the internet of people using every term under the sun besides lesbian and acting like lesbian is some dirty unspeakable word

There was a time when the internet was confined to a stationary desktop in the corner of the living room in our childhood homes. Every time I turned it on, the machine would groan and whir to life, the sound sometimes deafening as I waited for it to calm down so I could click on Internet Explorer and play Club Penguin, go on Mathletics for homework, or watch a few videos on a prehistoric version of Youtube. And then I would press shut down, go up to my room, and leave the online world behind. My room was my favorite space in the whole world—it still is—and as soon as I shut the door behind me, everything within the four walls became mine and wholly mine. From the bowing bookshelves against the walls in a state of near collapse due to the number of books they were holding, to my paintings scattered all around the room, to my piano, to the loose leaf papers holding scrawls of a story I was writing—everything belonged to me and was a product of my own imagination. Owning something in its entirety like that can only be born of a complete vacuum of outside noise, and when was the last time any of us truly felt that way?

Elle, we’re not bored anymore, and we should be

We did meet. Nineteen years ago. I was 8, you were 9. Outside the temple. The Wong boys were taunting me about my parents’ divorce. You beat the crap out of them. You were wearing a Kristy McNichol t-shirt, tan cords and a pageboy. You spilled your mom’s groceries. We scooped them into a bag. And then I kissed you…on the nose. And you ran.

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”
