Our Stories
We've been gathering stories from individuals within the same-sex attracted community, aiming to document and preserve the uniqueness of our history and culture. Here, these stories are at your fingertips.
The reality of being a lesbian
‘When I came out as a lesbian in the late 1980s and early 1990s I was welcomed into a thriving community of women. That community has helped and supported me through a range of life experiences, especially those experiences of exclusion that were prevalent at that time.’
Individual submissions in support of the Lesbian Action Group’s AHRC exemption application
Of the submissions submitted to the AHRC by organisations and individuals, a clear majority (397 submissions out of 498) supported the Lesbian Action Group’s request for a lesbian-only event. Although group submissions are available for reading on the AHRC website, individual submissions, which are not publicly available, provide insight into why single-sex lesbian and gay events matter to our community. Read some of them here.
