Almost a year ago, I agreed to take on this rescue for the CRT. After some consultation, it was agreed that a metanode was the best way to go. Little did I know what I was getting myself into! Writing a definitive metanode about lesbians has proved nearly impossible. There are just too many things to cover. It has taken me several months to come up with even a partial list, and longer to try to organize everything. I tried to write this in paragraph form – sort of a little lesbian summary – but it just didn’t work. Instead I give you the following categorized list, with some commentary. I have not covered everything that is already written, and there is plenty more to be written. Please continue to let me know what I should add to this list. Many thanks.
People, Places, and Things
- Classifications - Many of these descriptions tend to classify lesbians according to their gender or what gender they present. Others intend to blur the lines of gender and introduce a more complex concept. Some are slang, some are descriptive, some are complimentary and others are derogatory.
- Famous Lesbians - The real-life women listed here have identified as lesbian at some point; some still do. (Note that some historical figures were not identified as lesbians at the time, but society today considers them such.)
- Music
- Location, Location, Location
- Groups
Lesbians and Men - It certainly doesn't sound like it should make sense, but it can.
Lesbians and the Media
Lesbians and Everything2 - Hey, who let them in here?!
