The wonderful feeling of napping on your girlfriends chest. Listening to the sounds of her steady breaths as you feel the soft drumming of her heart beat. Legs and arms intertwined in a loving embrace. Soft hands drawing circles into my shoulderblades and down my ribcage. To be compleatly enveloped in a womans affection is the most heavenly way to pray. The surrender of trust so willingly. In her I found my religion, in her I found what the cherubs sing of.

“Greetings my dear readers! We are continuing the “happy pride month” posts with some help of my friend @the-artist-from-hell , also known as “juni!” They will be taking over the explanation from now on but still posting the pride facts and history here because this is there more prominent blog- I mean MY blog… yes-
“Any ways moving on! Take it away juniper!”
‘Alright then! Thanks shrimp!
Today we are learning about the “L” in LGBTQ! the L Of course stands for lesbian! Did you know that the label “lesbian(s)” is derived from the Greek island of “Lesbos”?
“What does some Greek island have to do with lesbians?” you may ask- well Because it’s well known for a famous past resident from 600 B.C named “Sappho” ((that’s also where we get the idea of the word “sapphic” when describing romance between feminine people)) she was known for being a great female poet who was openly attracted to woman… her writing was very erotic, and may I add this wasn’t common to see at that time- especially in writing from a woman.
Sappho lived in a time when women were not thought to be intellectuals nor sexual beings—especially without the participation of a man. How two women could be erotically connected was baffling to those at the time. Yet, despite this controversy Sappho was respected as a writer.
So now you know! And remember have fun this pride! Stay safe! And maybe read some lgbtq inspired poetry in memory of the great Sappho!
-signing off Juni’🏳️🌈
