Sapphic Circle is a space for lesbians to come together to explore feminist issues, build solidarity, and connect over shared experiences. We seek to build lesbian community through engaging in lesbian ideas, politics, media, and feminist resistance! Sapphic Circle meets the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 12pm PST/3pm EST/8pm UTC.

Come build connections between lesbians of different ages and life experiences!

Women-only space is said to be a regenerative experience where women can feel free to let our guard down away from the threat of male violence and male domination.
"Fed up with harassment and housing discrimination, lesbians in 1990s Kansas City dreamed of a place where they could 'walk hand in hand, freely down the streets'. So they created Womontown" (Bailey, 2022).
How does the The Lesbian Perspective by Julia Penelope explore the idea of community and solidarity among lesbians?
