Sapphic Circle is a space for lesbians to come together to explore feminist issues, build solidarity, and connect over shared experiences. We seek to build lesbian community through engaging in lesbian ideas, politics, media, and feminist resistance!
Sapphic Circle meets the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 12pm PST/3pm EST/8pm UTC.
"What is lesbianism? Is it a universal, crosscultural concept and identity or is it historically specific to that period of world history in which industrial societies develop? Do lesbians have a culture that cuts across the cultures of race, class and society?" - Ann Ferguson, 1990
"The humor that was done on us was making us the object rather than the subject... When we started doing jokes that were about us, rather than on us, we started getting laughs. But it wasn't easy." - Robin Tyler
"As a lesbian, I feel as if I've been pushed back into the closet. I looked forward to going to university as a teenager so I could meet like minded people, but those people like myself stay hidden out of fear of being labelled a bigot. It's lonely." -Anonymous (2021)
Only a few times in history have women been in a position to separate from the rest of society in order to describe the world as we see it, and our needs. - Judy Grahn
"Without a visual identity, we have no community, no support network, no movement. Making ourselves visible is a political act, making ourselves visible is a continual process." - Joan E. Biren
