“So I learned to say the word lesbian out loud, without blushing or stammering or feeling as if I were leaping over a precipice; to hear it as a positive term, not only in the privacy of my home or among my lesbian friends, but out there, in the face of the patriarchy and its explicit determination to oppress and perhaps eradicate us.”
— Evelyn Torton Beck, “Teaching about Jewish Lesbians in Literature,” from Lesbian Studies (via berthemorisot)
