I have just one very good femme friend and really value our friendship - apart from the fact that she's just a lovely, smart woman, spending time with her is the only opportunity I have to share and talk femme. Having said that I have to admit that I haven't done much at all really about meeting other femmes. As I'm going to have some time and energy this year it's something I definitely want to pursue. I think the that an intergenerational community is essential if it's going to be any kind of community at all. Great post that's got me planning!

I've been inspired by Jewelle Gomez - as the kind of feminist femme I want to be "when I grow up" Okay, I'm over 40 - so maybe I should say - "as I grow older!" Last year I did an interview with her at the OLOC conference in LA (Older Lesbians Organizing for Change)& recently watched the footage. She had some incredibly wise & loving things to say about lack of community & context for younger lesbians now... and about how she felt that her community had given her support & made her brave. How to make something like that into intergenerational support? It's so cool that you're blogging about this.
