Lesbian Day of Visibility 2020

Yesterday was the annual Lesbian Day of Visibility and, ironically, I had absolutely no idea and it wasn’t on my radar. So here’s a belated shout out to all of the strong, powerful and inspiring women in my life, in my Facebook circle, in my community, and in this world.

You were shoulder to shoulder with gay men in the early years of the fight for recognition. You carried us on your shoulders through the dark time of the AIDS plague. You led us all in the most recent battle for marriage equality. And you continue to rally, coordinate, and spearhead legislative and political efforts today.

I see you, my keyring clanging, lanyard wearing, clipboard toting, life changing warrior women. And I’m ever so grateful to be part of your tribe.
