Photos of Lesbian Lives Meant to Inspire a Movement

Two in one day! I must be on a roll.

I just saw this article on facebook, shared from my old photography teacher at FIT. As a visual/artistic person, I love when we get to use images in class to be transported back in time. Since we are currently in the gay rights movement of the 70s and moving into the 80s, these photographs are perfect. They are so sweet and tender; I hope you enjoy them too.

If you like photography such as this, I highly recommend you check out Zanele Muholi and her series "Faces & Phases," which is about black lesbians in South Africa. (She has also been scheduled to visit Pitzer before, and might in the next few years!)
