The image in my signature linked me to this lesbian named Lisa's geocities from 2002. This passage was too cute I had to share it.
" When I decided to explore the whole lesbian thing, I started at the internet. I joined Planet Out and started perusing the personal ads. I found out something new about myself right away. I had always kind of figured that I was attracted to femmes because, prior to my explorations, I had always found myself looking at more feminine women and thinking "wow, she's hot". Then, I noticed that all of the pictured personal ads I was saving to respond to were of totally butch women. Made me stop and go "Hmmmmm". Now that I was actually taking steps toward becoming a lesbian, I found out that my attractions were far from what I thought they would be if I had ever thought seriously of doing this. It was a revelation, to say the least. My wonderful fiance, Kim, looks like the stereotypical butch and I have found that I embrace the butch/femme dynamic completely. My favorite saying is that a butch is the sexiest thing on earth and I have the sexiest of the sexy. *grin* "
Like, I'm excited about this because so much of our queer history is accessible on the internet.
It's such a trip to read something so candid - just makes me think of our queer ancestors' experiences and how much we'll never know because they had to keep it hidden.
To me this space is a privilege and web revival is so fun because we can connect with each other and the legacy we're a part of.
