I just want to say that I know Pride Month has become maddeningly complicated, and that the erasure is thick on the ground, but Medusa's Laugh I hope your celebrations in throngs or in quietude you can totally forget about (entitled identities) for a while and enjoy the fact of your thriving! 

To Medusa Rising's lesbian readers, a solemn nod of acknowledgement and a wide grin of joy for your very being! 

It has never only been lesbian feminists, but lesbian feminsts have always been a strength in our thought, our creativity, our activism, and our world building. 

This pride I am grateful for the growing efforts to claim and reclaim women's land – efforts often led by our lesbian sisters. Never only, but always.

It is among women-only, with concentrated time that we each can learn the feeling of expanding all the way into our skin, right up to the surface, in blazing contact with be-ing and becoming, with each other. Many of the intentional women's spaces where we learn our fullness are grounded by lesbian caretakers and lesbian feminist lineage. This is my gratitude.

In the names of these elders, with gratitude for the wisdom we find in even their most dire ​disagreements and for the corners of our movement they have anchored, Happy Pride!
