Lesbian.comLesbian.com is a journey.. an evolution that began when Sue was sitting at her desk in 1995 and had the (some say) brilliant insight to register the domain name Lesbian.com. Her intent was to protect the domain from the radical right and perhaps mostly because she thought the web would be an excellent avenue for dykes around the world to connect and network. In 1998, Sue, Mel, Ana, and Gisele began talking about what Lesbian.com might become as an international lesbian resource. Collectively the four of them have years of experience with the Web are committed to social and economic justice, and all are activists both on and offline. Together, they worked through difficult issues and came up with the mission statement. Many of you have kindly and graciously shared your thoughts and dreams with us. You've helped to set the direction and focus of Lesbian.com. As a result of your input, we offer you version 1 of Lesbian.com. Lesbian.com will grow organically. By this we mean that Lesbian.com will be what it is because lesbians from around the world will contribute and be a part of creating it's content. Our hope is that Lesbian.com will be a place where we can dialogue about ourselves, explore our issues, share our wildest dreams. We will grow it together.
