I was so surprised to hear this podcast (new to me! Good!) talk about a lesbian avenger action I was a part of almost 30(!!) years ago. It’s made me pull out some old pictures and walk down memory lane. The whole episode is good, but avenger part is 41:05-46:37. #lesbianavengers

We're super psyched to publish the first Zine of the Gay blog post from Valeria, our current undergrad intern, over at QZAP. She jumped right in to exploring the Lesbian Avengers Dyke Manifesto from 1994.

"Did the Gap Steal a #Lesbian Artist’s Design and Put It on a Pride Shirt?" Um, clearly. https://www.intomore.com/fashion/gap-steal-lesbian-artists-design-put-pride-shirt/ #lesbianavengers #dyke #queer #commodification

The first Dyke March took place in Washington DC during the March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation on April 24, 1993. It was organized by the (fucking awesome) #LesbianAvengers. Over 20,000 women participated in the march.

The #LesbianAvengers held other marches before 1st #NYCDykeMarch. On 10/30/92, as part of #TakeBacktheNight, the LAs set up a shrine to H. Mae Cohens & B. Mock, a #Blacklesbian and white gay men, who were killed in an OR firebombing of their house......

Dear #LesbianHerstoryArchives, Pls hv #LesbianAvengers #BetheBombYouThrow shirt to buy that frightened me as a youth. I get it now. Best, JG
