Who Are We?
Lesbian Fightback is a coalition of Lesbians resisting erasure
This was our opening tweet.
“Lesbians of all ages have had enough! We are fighting back and resisting erasure. We know who and what we are. We’re not a porn category. We’re not men. We are women loving women, celebrating being Lesbians and having fun!
Why not join us?”
Within one week we had 3000 followers so we clearly touched a nerve! Carol and our other tweeters now reach 4214 followers on X
Our network of organisations grew steadily and we are currently 62 lesbians representing 39 different lesbian groups/organisations and 19 individual activists.
In June 2024 we published the Lesbian Fightback Declaration on Change.org petition site during PRIDE. After we were removed, with no explanation, we moved to i-petitions where we lasted for a few weeks longer before being removed from there too.
Our Declaration
Lesbians continue to face discrimination throughout society.
Therefore, we, the lesbians of Lesbian Fightback, declare that:
One
Lesbians are women who are attracted to and love other women. They are female homosexuals which means they are same-sex attracted.
Two
Men cannot be lesbians because men cannot be women and boys cannot be girls.
Three
Many tomboys will grow up to be lesbian. Rejecting femininity is a common lesbian choice; it does not mean that girls or women are trying to be, or are, male.
Four
Lesbians have the right to create and maintain their own spaces, free from male interference, for social, cultural, educational, and political activities.
Five
Lesbians have the right to discuss matters which affect them without being abused, harassed or intimidated.
Six
Lesbians have the right to exist as an independent group and not be teamed with any other group with different needs.
Our Campaigns
#Bin The Bill
The Conversion Practices Bill is a reckless and homophobic piece of legislation that will criminalise impartial therapy, family life and the ability to parent your child, and is dangerous to young LGB children and young adults.
WE OPPOSE THE BILL.
#Not in Our Name
The Conversion Practices Bill is a homophobic piece of legislation that threatens to make supporting detransitioners conversion therapy. This will also apply to having a simple conversation with your child about their sexual orientation.
WE OPPOSE THE BILL.
#LF Declaration
In June 2024 we published the Lesbian Fightback Declaration on Change.org petition site during PRIDE. We were removed. We moved to i-petitions where we lasted for a few weeks before being removed from there too.
SO WE LAUNCHED OUR OWN.
