The Lesbian Peep Show
An unapologetic archive of lesbian, sapphic, and dyke life curated by author, ghostwriter, and Midwestern lesbian Erin Brown. Part cultural critique, part personal canon—exploring queer history, media dissection, identity formation, body politics, and the relationships that shape us. Less rainbow-washed pride, more lesbian praxis.
