bearybutch:I’ve come out to a lot of people over many years, but I think the funniest story was telling one of my grandma’s, and having her launch into a story describing her lesbian neighbours from decades ago whom she loathed for “mowing their lawn half-naked in red bras, so loud and hairy”. It’s amusing that the traits some people hate lesbians over are the ones I adore them for. I wish I could’ve met those neighbours. I wonder if they’re out there, somewhere in Melbourne still, old and grey as my grandma, with their own stories about her instead.I’ve recreated that image in this art and one day hope to recreate it in some photos as well. It’s such a memorable image. Red bra dyke doing her errands. Being domestic was rebellious. Even when I know sharing was an attempt to undermine me, I took away a connection to history instead, and a reminder of why I love being a lesbian so much.[ ID: A butch lesbian is drawn mowing the lawn in an outback setting. She is white, with light brown, short hair, and green eyes. She is smiling crookedly. She is wearing a red bra and blue jeans, and is hairy on her chest, arms, and stomach. She is fat, with round yet strong features. The lawnmower is a simple electric push device with silver metal, and black and red rubber features. Grass extends into a blue sky with white clouds, and a brown wooden fence lines the background diagonally. End ID. ] -- source link
