THE LESBIAN AVENGERS

The Lesbian Avengers is a direct-action group focused on lesbian visibility and survival. During NYC Pride in 1992, founding members handed out 8,000 club cards that read, “Lesbians! Dykes! Gay Women! We want revenge and we want it now.” Fifty lesbians came to the first meeting, and eventually eighty chapters formed across the US. In 1993 they organized the first Dyke Marches, which continue to take place throughout the US and the world.
