The Lesbian Avengers hatched in 1992; a long-ago far-away time filled with dykes decked out in Doc Martins & flannels & pretty much anything with a labrys on it, when no major celebrities had come out and queer rumors were as good as it got so we’d listen to bands & performers simply because they might be queer … actually, this was before the word “queer” had been fully reclaimed. This is where six experienced political activists in New York founded the Avengers with a vision for “direct action group focused on issues vital to lesbian survival and visibility.” Vikki from Up Popped A Fox writes about The Lesbian Avengers on Autostraddle. -- source link
