It's a struggle but that's why we exist, so that another generation of Lesbians of color will not have to invent themselves, or their history, all over again.

When we create out of our experiences, as feminists of color, women of color, we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture.

I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.

Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference - those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are black, who are older - know that survival is not an academic skill...For the master's tools will not dismantle the master's house. They will never allow us to bring about genuine change.

There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.

I can't really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?
