HOPE GRANT: Buzzfeed 1970s Explanation of How Many Women Are Lesbians
This Buzzfeed story was really interesting for multiple reasons. Not only is a 1970s "profile" of lesbians interesting because it includes verbiage such as, "Even though there's strong scientific theory that says none of them has actually been born that way," as in born gay, but it is interesting because the reporter interviewed lesbians and attended a meeting of the Australasian Lesbian Movement. We have been learning about the rise of different lesbian feminist groups in the 1970s so I thought this was fitting! Click here for the story
