Angelina Jolie - I always play women I would date.
 
Melissa Etheridge - Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.
 
Rita Mae Brown - Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women.

Mary Cheney - John Kerry didn't out me, nor did he offend or attack me by calling me a lesbian. I certainly couldn't be offended by the truth. ..more...

Lonesome this Valentine’s? Disillusioned by being solo or gazing in at all the queer candlelit couples? Try our alternative Top 10 Tips for finding long-term love…
1. Join a LGBT sports or social club! From rambling to wrestling, from choral singing to classic cars, LGBT sports and social groups are a great way to meet others with shared interests, well away from the prevalent, pressured smoke-filled, sex-fuelled scene.

2. Volunteer! A great way to meet other people who have more than one thing on their mind – themselves – whilst putting something back into the LGBT community you at least occasionally get something from!

3. Campaign! What better way to meet whilst helping the cause of global LGBT rights? Keep apace of LGBT news by reading your very own Daily Velvet and get involved in rights issues that affect you and those around you. Many’s the time true love was ignited under fire. ..more...

Living and working in London at a time when lesbians and gay men were starting to call themselves "queer" and when sadomasochistic sex play moved out of the margins in this new queer culture, Boffin was an outspoken advocate of lesbian sexual freedom. Working with her partner, Nerina Ferguson, she developed a queer sex-show "Crucifixion Cabaret," performed in 1992 to great controversy. Tessa Boffin played a Centurion in full costume with red and gold cloak, and Nerina Ferguson her lover took the role of a gold-painted naked slave.

Boffin was active in promoting the importance of lesbian photography, and in bringing it to a largely ignorant audience. In 1991 she co-edited with Jean Fraser Stolen Glances: Lesbians Take Photographs, 250 pages, the first collection of its kind. Some of her other work includes; Ecstatic Antibodies: Resisting the AIDS Mythology edited with Sunil Gupta, 1990, London: Rivers Oram Press, 200 pages book and Lesbian Looks, 1994, Scarlet Press. ...more...
