Ever heard of the Lesbian Avengers? No, they don’t fight aliens (though honestly, we’d watch that), but they do fight for queer rights!
In this episode, we’re throwing it back to the radical roots of queer activism and shining a spotlight on the Lesbian Avengers – a group that didn’t just talk about change, they ate fire to demand it (literally).
We’re talking bold and brilliantly queer protests, and how groups like the Lesbian Avengers and Dykes on Bikes paved the way for the visibility and rights we have today. But don’t worry, it’s not all history class – we’re discussing our takes on what’s happening right now too.
Here’s what we cover in this ep:
🎧 So grab your headphones, hit play, and join us as we celebrate the power of creative protest and the importance of visibility in this episode.
Until next time, stay perfectly queer!
