We have united with the following aims:
- To increase the visibility of lesbians and lesbian issues, as distinct from the so-called “LGBTQ+ community,” as described by lesbian radical feminists.
- To be able to speak with a unified international voice that is both a lesbian voice and a principled, radical feminist voice consistent with the LBOR.
- To be able to mobilize quickly to address specific harms to lesbians anywhere in the world and mutually amplify our voices – via protests, website posts, mass mailings, and social media posts. In addition, we may address international organizations (e.g., UN, EU) on lesbian issues.
- To make it easier for some or all member organizations to communicate, share information, and collaborate on international actions, including, for example, simultaneous street protests, or organizing international lesbian conferences.
- To promote the LBOR.
- To grow our membership.
- To connect with other lesbian groups and other radical feminist groups where appropriate.
To help us speak with a unified voice, we will use the LBOR definitions, including:
Lesbian: A human female homosexual; or, a woman or girl who is exclusively* same-sex attracted.
Woman: An adult human female.
Girl: A minor human female.
Gender: Sex-based stereotypes whose purpose is to force all women into a subordinate position in relation to all men.
Radical feminism: For the limited purpose of joining LBOR International, (a) a sex-class analysis of patriarchy and (b) the aim of abolishing gender in all its forms are required.
We’re excited about the possibilities of international lesbian radical feminist collaboration. We’re actively seeking additional members, and we plan to write additional statements on specific topics affecting lesbians and organize other actions. Follow us on social media, and contact one of our organizations if you think your organization may be a good fit.
