Lavender Menace Phone Cases - iPhone and Android
Description: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Lavender Menace or revolution was an informal group of lesbian radical feminists formed to protest the exclusion of lesbians and lesbian issues from the feminist movement at the Second Congress to Unite Women in New York City on May 1, 1970. Members included Karla Jay, Martha Shelley, Rita Mae Brown, Lois Hart, Barbara Love, Ellen Shumsky, Artemis March, Cynthia Funk, Linda Rhodes, Arlene Kushner, Ellen Broidy, and Michela Griffo,[1] and were mostly members of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) and the National Organization for Women (NOW).
Description: "The story of the origin of the phrase "Lavender Menace" is that it was first used in 1969 by Betty Friedan, president of NOW, to describe the threat that she believed associations with lesbianism posed to NOW and the emerging women's movement. Friedan, and some other straight feminists, worried that the association would hamstring feminists' ability to achieve serious political change and that stereotypes of "mannish" and "man-hating" lesbians would provide an easy way to dismiss the movement." - A Quote from Wikipedia This is a subtle way to say "Fuck you" to people who think that queer humans should have nothing to do with feminism. We are loud and proud of who we are!
