LGB Alliance Cymru
We are proud to be associated with the Lesbian Reconnection Programme run by WomenZone and primarily funded by Swansea Council. These events all take place in Swansea and the Gower, and are open to lesbians over 50 where spaces are available. The programme is evolving as women ask for additional activities and the budget allows, so contact womenszone@gmail.com for updates or to register your interest in events.
Last week I wrote about some research into the lesbian experience during the pandemic – and showed how little real information there is about our experiences. I promised some action.
It’s become a cliché. We’re all in the same storm, but not all in the same boat. We know that some people have made a lot of money out of Covid, while many have got much poorer. A few had parties while we missed our families, endured sickness and bereavement, learned, or did not, to live with loneliness.
I was interested to know about the specific experiences of lesbians – that class of humans constituted of adult human females sexually attracted to other adult human females. Experience in my networks suggested that there might be some trends that were exaggerated in our community and I wondered if anyone had taken a rigorous look.
Not so much.
