On today’s podcast, editor in chief Jocelyn Macdonald and writer Gabrielle Alejandro dive in to lesbian loneliness. What’s lesbian loneliness? Don’t act like you don’t know!
With the disappearance of lesbian spaces and a hard shift away from lesbian identity in favor of more ‘inclusive’ identities, it’s harder than ever to build lesbian-centered community. But beyond the question of our spaces and our culture, lesbians face an existential anxiety that we may be too small a minority to be surrounded by our people. Many of us have probably spent a sleepless night or two wondering if we’ll ever find our dream girl. In a world where such a small percentage of women are gay, and an even smaller percentage we are truly attracted to, and an even SMALLER percentage live within a reasonable driving distance, it can feel pretty bleak sometimes. But we believe in you! We believe in lesbian love!
