How far we've come

Amongst friends, in the workplace and (mostly) in general public it's not that difficult to be a lesbian in the twenty first century. This is just from my personal experience, but I want to share what it's like to be a lesbian today and hopefully create a community for others to share their own experiences.

History is littered with examples of women who have loved women and gone to sometimes extreme lengths to be together. The Story of Barbara Hill is pretty sad and really shows how society has progressed. The thing that really struck me was that there is so little detail, but you can imagine how horrific the situation must have been for them both. Also, it was a pretty stupid risk to take to try and join the army.

If only these women could have seen what we have today.
