Diana’s Reviews > Dear Sappho: A Legacy of Lesbian Love Letters > Status Update

First time i went to an all-women dance. The most impressive thing i felt was the gentle loving energy flowing thruout. Women were dancing, laughing, liking, loving together. It's beautiful, this women-loving-women.

I have been thinking very much these days of beauty-(poor name is it not for anything so Holy). I know that if everyone felt beauty strongly, felt that everything beautiful was God and all things not beautiful not God. That woman was the nearest symbol for beauty. If one could see this- there would be no sin, or squalor, or unhappiness in the whole world.

Long before the first button, poster, pamphlet, or book made claims for our liberation, the lesbian love letter cried out:" i love you, no matter what the world thinks."
