Eroticism
There are various ways of doing eroticism inside diverse women¡¯s same sex
relationship other than passionate love and sex. Also, these relationships could
be erotic and sometimes horrible and uncomfortable at the same time. These may
reveal scratches and the gap of smooth surface of sisterhood or dreadful and
tabooed lesbian images. Yet, lesbian eroticism and boundary of female desires
are far from pornographic male gaze. This section aims to explore images that

Lesbian Sexuality / Identity
This section looks into individual history of lesbians who hope to locate
themselves within a single category but show different paths of identity

Lesbian Culture
No lesbian¡¯s history so far? If you say so, it means you may not know lesbians
have existed anytime, anywhere. Is there lesbian culture? Nobody can describe
lesbian culture in a single way considering the diverse ways of being lesbians.
It is not easy to see clearly what is enjoyable to us and what is only possible
by us. Nevertheless, as far as we are concerned, certain culture exist for sure.
We attempt to find lesbian subtexts that are going on inside and outside of
lesbian community because productions of hetero-oriented popular culture are
often transformed int! ! o lesbian ones. This kind of works may help to reveal
where we stand and provide power to resist existing discrimination and
oppression against lesbians.

Coming out
It is not a simple task to make lesbians visible under patriarchy and compulsory
heterosexism. Coming-out has significant meaning to lesbians who hide their
identity due to violent prejudice of compulsory heterosexism. Coming out of the
closet to wider society offers a positive affirmation of oneself, but make one
confront scattered difficulties at the same time. Les! ! bians, who try to come
out, come to stand in the front line of the fight against these solid walls of
heterosexism. We talk about coming-out in a various ways from offering fun
slogans of coming out to heterosexuals to looking into the painful struggles of
lesbians about coming-out.
