Filmmaker Aishah Shahidah Simmons talks about issues faced by black lesbians due to homophobia...part of a new documentary on lesbians of African descent...coming soon!.
"black./womyn.:conversations..." will be a feature length docu-film that will concern lesbians of African descent living in the U.S. It will include over 50 interviews with black lesbians of all ages /classes /nationalities/locations discussing a variety of topics including coming out, sexuality and religion, love and relationships, patriarchy, visibility in media, among others as well as a series of short vignettes representing the topics discussed. I'm hoping to provide a film that can encourage progressive dialogue between people on dealing with the image of the black lesbian and the stereotype that come with who black lesbians are portrayed to be. I hope to encourage conversation between black lesbians dealing with class and age, and the lack of communication between these groups and how that affects the overall unity between black lesbians as a group in society.

Cede some of your hate and allow love to blossom. What would the world be like without your hate, fear, discrimination and general RIDICuLosity?...yeah, I created a word just for you hypocrits...Live and let live. The Christ I know is a loving, kind and generous Spirit. Get a hobby...stitch witchery, pottery, gardening...something other than hatin'!
No, really?....How can christians preach hell and damnation in this life and curses in the next and profess to really know Christ? If Christ is anything like the hypocrits that point fingers at everyone they deem "sinful"...we are all headed for damnation, especially the morons spouting religious rhetoric.
YOu kknow what she rigt. The thing that upsets me an I feel pushes many gays and lesbians away from religion is the fact that someone is elling you that GOD loves everyone but he will not love you for following your heart no matter the gender
man im a young woman...15 to be exact...and a lot of this i can apply to sitting in church is horrible it makes u feel wrong..this is great i cant wait to see the whole project...much love Neysha
what makes dykes/fags think they can do such an evil, heinous act before the Lord, and He allow them to just "enjoy" it. These people are cursed in this life, and if they don't repent and stop this evil, they will be in hell in the next!
preach on you are SOOOOOO TRUE they want christians to justify their lifestyles. how can they call themselves christians and live like that. that will be like me being a liar cheater and thief and go to church like nothings wrong
