Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was a Lesbian Avenger in 1994!! (My name is celeste, not Tim.) I was 14, and I saw a flyer for them on a telephone poll in New Paltz, New York that read "Lesbian Avengers, We Recruit!" with a picture of a secretarial woman holding a bomb. That flyer was almost glowing, pulling me towards it by my pupils, with entire choirs of holy angels singing from heaven! There was a telephone number printed a bunch of times on little slivers on the bottom and I took one. I can;'t believe I actually called it, but I did, and suddenly, I was IN! I was the most intimidated I have ever been, sooo starstruck by those people for every single second I spent in their company haha. They were so enigmatic and excited and hilarious - I think it was the first time I really saw rage and joy expressed simultaneously by a single person as power. I understood so very little of what anyone was talking about at the time that I couldn't tell you now at all, and I was excruciatingly shy, but they we're endlessly kind to me. My dad drove me to and fro the meetings haha. Even though my experience of and thinking around gender and sexuality has evolved seemingly endlessly since then, I think the Lesbian Avengers is partially why there'll always be a little militant lesbian inside me who will never die (not do I want er to, she's scrappy and punk rock) Anyway, its so wonderful to see the Lesbian Avengers being talked about so many years later, I feel like I never hear them mentioned, and you reminded me that we must not lose them! We have to keep the radical lesbians, the Lesbian Avengers and Fierce Pussy, etc, alive in our collective queer memories! Complicated aspects of them and all.
