Hey, Michelle: thanks for weighing in. as an “L” myself, I don’t have a strong opinion about this, but would only say there are a lot of different theories about the reasons behind the disappearance of the bars and also the increasing disappearance of any semblance of an L community, generally. In that regard, I am gratified by, and will be looking to, the Lesbian Project newly formed in the UK by Julie Bindel and Kathleen Stock for development of more information and for lifting up the concerns and needs of Ls, whatever they may be.

I am all the more grateful to Lisa for providing such thought provoking posts and a place where we can gather to have such rich and open-ended conversations. That opportunity is rare indeed in this polarized environment.
