A Short History of Queer Women
Queer women have always existed - let's put them back in the history books
No, they weren't 'just friends'!
Queer women have been written out of history since, well, forever. 'But historians famously care about women!', said no one. From Anne Bonny and Mary Read who sailed the seas together disguised as pirates, to US football captain Megan Rapinoe declaring 'You can't win a championship without gays on your team', via countless literary salons and tuxedos, A Short History of Queer Women sets the record straight on women who have loved other women through the ages.
Who says lesbians can't be funny?

Welcome to Sapphic Society. This is what we stand for.
WE BELIEVE that every individual deserves to see themselves represented and celebrated in society.
--------------------------------------------
WE UNDERSTAND the power of representation, especially in a world where LGBTQIA+ people are systematically marginalized and discriminated against. At a time when laws are being passed that prohibit the teaching of queer existence and ban LGBTQIA+ books from public libraries, we refuse to be silenced.
--------------------------------------------
OUR GOAL is to educate the public on LGBTQIA+ topics and provide a platform for our community members and allies to escape into worlds where LGBTQIA+ perspectives are front and center.
--------------------------------------------
WE ARE founded by women who love women, but our community is for all who seek a space where they can belong and be themselves without fear of judgment or persecution.

How Alabama’s Decision on Frozen Embryos Hits LGBTQ+ Families Particularly Hard
Alabama’s groundbreaking ruling on February 16th has sparked yet another nationwide debate on women’s rights related to fertility, except this time, the effects land a particularly hard blow on LGBTQ+ families. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos have the legal status of personhood, meaning that destroying them is tantamount to murdering an unborn child. What does this all mean, why is it so important, and how does it affect queer families? Read for more. -
