Joan Nestle Quotes

My Lesbian History Tells Me That The Vice Squad Is Never Our Friend Even When It Is Called In By Women; That When Police Rid A Neighborhood Of 'undesirables,' The Undesirables Have Also Included Street Lesbians; That I Must Find Another Way To Fight Violence Against Women Without Doing Violence To My Lesbian Self. I Must Find A Way That Does Not Cooperate With The State Forces Against Sexuality, Forces That Raided My Bars, Beat Up My Women, Entrapped Us In Bathrooms, Closed Our Plays, And Banned Our Books.
