Although there were prominent lesbians in the National Organization for Women, many leaders, including especially Betty Friedan, one of the organization's founding mothers, were perceived as homophobic. - Health N/A: Breast cancer, gynecological and preventive care, HIV/AIDS are many of the issues affecting Latina lesbians and bisexual women. However, for these women both lesbophobia and biphobia in the health care system and language barriers can present a problem.

Female homosociality at Ann Summers Parties (Word Download):  This paper draws on ethnographic research... I argue that heterosexual women's interactions and relationships with each other in such homosocial settings have a distinctive structure.  This structure is organised around a form of same-sex gender identification - 'being one of the girls' - which is maintained and policed by lesbophobia. - ‘Losing My Credentials’: Bisexual Women in Committed Relationships: Fear of family disapproval or other forms of discrimination has resulted in many women’s refusal to take on the often-detested “lesbian” label. Lesbians who have been willing to risk “lesbophobia” in the world by calling themselves “lesbian” often feel betrayed by, or at least wary of, a woman who has committed to another woman but not to battling on the front lines by proudly calling herself a lesbian. They may see her bisexuality as a cop-out or even a threat. - What is [a] Girljock? From Girljock, The Book: Not all the women we have interviewed, or the contributors, or the Girljock staff are lesbians. But all of them believe in the value of being part of a new lesbian-positive athletic female universe. We are all disgusted with the butchphobia and lesbophobia which has held back the women's sports world. - Black and Minority Ethnic Lesbian and Bisexual Women (UK, PDF).

Comparative Female Masculinities (Judith Halberstam, University of Southern California) (Abstract, Must Scroll: PDF Download.) (Full Text, pp. 66-72): "Recent anthropological work on "same-sex female desire" has been rightly hesitant about using the term "lesbian" for variations on same sex desire found in different parts of the globe. Where anthropologists have used a Euro-American template to read and study same sex female desires in non-Western contexts, they have run the risk of obliterating alternative sexual economies and taxonomies. My paper will look at comparative renderings of "female masculinity," a non-identitarian model of gender, and will ask whether we can draw any kind of meaningful parallels between "tombois" in Indonesia, onabes in Japan, T's in Taiwan, toms in Thailand, marimachas in Mexico and tomboys in the Philippines, just to give a few examples. My paper is less an account of these different models of gender variance and more of a search for a methodology for studying gender variance in a comparative framework."

Stranger in a Familiar Land: Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Academe - by - Lee-Ann Matsumoto: "It is true I am a Bull-butch dyke and damn proud of it. My pathetic identityless heterosexual sisters can go their own way. Being a lesbian and being a butch is not PC, I am told by the greater lesbian "community." I am also informed that Hawai'i has no lesbian "community." Here we go again with the invisible ideal that we are all suppose to copy and emulate - namely, to be androgynous lesbians. The popular white lesbian feminist criticism is that lesbians who chose to be butch and femme are trying to be heterosexual. Oh please, give me a break. I am butch because this is my identity. My wife is femme because this is her identity. There is a lesbian "community" in Hawai'i, but frankly Virginia, you don't acknowledge it because everyone living there is butch and femme... The university system is a place in which I dwell, spending many of my waking hours in classrooms, libraries, and labs. It is a home away from home, but it is a hostile environment. I expected the University of Hawai'i to be a nice place for me - a very naive point of view. Local students get short-shifted academically at UH Manoa. Deference is made to the athletes, the white students, the male students, while the female Local students get treated like shit and the Hawaiian students are treated even worse than us. The University of Hawai'i should be called Missionary University, because the entire system is under the control of privileged, white, middle class men. I like learning. I value my education, but I have to fight every step of the way to get it. It is not any surprise that so many of my classmates from high school dropped out of U.H. The white heteropatriarchal system is inhospitable. To be a dyke in this system can be suicidal...."

My Personal, Your Political, Our Lesbianism (Alternate Link): (Related Information) "Women who love women still face discrimination in Catholicism-dominant Philippines, and the lesbian movement has been fighting this discrimination since the 1980s alongside their heterosexual feminist counterparts. Although most lesbians readily subsume themselves under the women’s movement, they still have distinct concerns that can be addressed only by breaking out into another movement. Young lesbian advocates who started this struggle in the 1980s and 1990s have been lying low these days, focusing on other aspects of their personal lives and contributing to the political struggle when time permits. And while the younger lesbians have entered the scene to continue what was started, they basically come and go—a phenomenon that began at the start of this decade..." -  Putting You in Your Place: Culture and the Filipino Lesbian. 

Navigating Spaces: Lesbians Claiming Territory: "Lapowsky and Davis describe the challenge of negotiating space within one’s family when they observe (in this case, of lesbian life in the 1930s and 1940s), “The goal of discretion in family life, therefore, was not so much to keep members of the immediate family ignorant of one’s lesbianism, but rather to avoid further disruption of family relationships and to protect one’s immediate family from general social disgrace and ridicule by fellow workers, neighbours and relatives.” A close friend of mine recently (neither the 1930s or 1940s!) experienced first-hand this type of discrimination-by-discretion. When invited to be the maid of honour at her sister’s wedding, she was told that, while she was welcome to bring her girlfriend (who was very welcome in her family’s home), they were to refrain from kissing or dancing together lest the groom’s family or guests take offence at the public display of lesbianism, which would then reflect poorly on her sister, the bride-to-be. The extent of acceptable public behaviour was limited to holding hands. Stories such as this always sadden and anger me, for they are reminders that lesbians still must resort to struggling, negotiating, and tenaciously clinging to their human rights to openly inhabit space in the world—as lesbians. Has so little changed from the era described by Lapowsky and Davis?"

Locations of Silence: "The “lesbian” has been ultimately defined, as “a ghost, whose sexual activities cannot be defined, and yet she repeatedly reappears, haunting the heterosexual imaginary. This ghosting of lesbian desire has made possible a denial of its reality for too long. “17 It is true that locations of silence and imperfect measurements of lesbian identity have relegated our existence to the margins for so long. But on the other hand, these locations of silence and the idea of uncertainty have allowed us to penetrate into almost all fields without being detected, permitting us to survive for so long. Thus, the “apparitional lesbian” is not absent from history, but is to be found everywhere.” 18" - Anthropological Research on Homosexuality in Latin America and the lesbian Drought. - JUSTICIA PARA TODAS: Discriminación contra las lesbianas en Costa Rica (PDF Download).

But have you noticed how everybody invokes 'feminism' as the reason for their wildly varying positions?

Lesbian and bisexual women’s health research (Australia) is a rapidly growing area. Small community-based research projects involving these women have been underway since the 1980s. Increasingly, over the last decade, larger population-based research has been conducted. One of the current challenges is that questions on sexual orientation and gender identity are not yet included in routine demographics of most major national research and census data collection. Their inclusion would provide important local information about the health of same sex attracted women compared with their heterosexual peers. Known completed projects and publications are included here.
