Retro 1950's style design of "The Lavender Menace", which at first was a negative term for the association of lesbianism with the feminist movement, but was later reclaimed as a positive term by lesbian feminists.

I’ve been trying to collect my thoughts and decide what to say about lavender haze.
First off we can’t ignore the significance that lavender has had to the queer community (lavender marriages, lavender scare, lavender menace).
But despite this i am overwhelmingly hurt today. If taylor wanted to tell people she was straight she could just do that instead of making an insinuation that gaylors are “weird”. It’s not weird to think someone might be queer - especially when they constantly partake in and display queer messaging - and this doesn’t invalidate her relationship with joe at all because bi and pan people exist. and the only reason why you would think it would be wrong to wonder if someone might be gay is if you think that being gay is a bad thing - which it isn’t.
And now straight people are sharing their “lavender relationships” as if that term isn’t already caked in queer meaning and history.
so now if taylor isn’t queer in any way she’s just using us for profit which makes her an asshole and not an ally to the community she claims to support.
i’m just sad and disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.
I was watching video on the history of the lesbian pride flag by @strange-aeons. This image came to mind as a sign from god that I must make. It was originally supposed to be trans men and women are real men and women but my mind went else where. This is dedicated to all lesbians, lipstick lesbians, butch lesbians, nonbinary lesbians, trans women, trans women who are also lesbians, trans men and everyone who terfs discriminates against.
Also the characters name is MENACE. All caps. It came to me when I was walking my dogs. They were speaking to me.
I am also tagging some terf tags so this cause some stir. 💕💕💕💕 you aren’t a real feminist if you don’t believe in equal rights for ALL women.
