"black./womyn.:conversations..." felicia and katrina on...

Partners, Felicia and Katrina talks about the desire to see more images of black lesbians in film/media ...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.

[makeyourowndamnpie]

AMEN!! AMEN!! AMEN!!

I'm actually crying right now, because I am hearing the EXACT desire (that another person LIKE ME) want!

[1980Triumph]

lesbians and gays are hilarious, trying to get accepted everywhere, always wanting......LOL its funny cause they will never get it.  You will never make the world over in that stupid image because its a delusion. Especially the ones who love the fake dudes....yeah go get a real dude not some stupid chick pretending....LMAO

@MrWarrenblue I did not choose to live this way. I can remeber having crushes on girls when I was in kindergarten. Did I choose to be gay then when I had no idea what gay or lesbian or straight was. I can also tell you that at no point in my life was I ever attracted to the opposite sex. When I learned that the way I felt had a name, Lesbian, I cried myself to sleep everynight for years praying to OUR God to change it and guess what, I'm still Gay.

@tionanm

Has the film been to Atlanta?

Warrenblue - you are an angry, hate-filled person. Why do you assume I'm gay simply because I don't hate homosexuals the way you do? That is simply proof of how narrow-minded you are. People are who they are, whether you agree with it or not. And no amount of yelling and screaming and quoting scripture will change other people. You live your life the way it works for you, and let others do the same. It really is that simple. You have neither a hell nor heaven to place anyone in.

[MrWarrenblue]

you have "judging", confused. judging means to condemn someone to hell. only God can do that. what you are seeing is correction. people can try to correct you, even though it is up to you whether or not you want to correct what was brought to your attention. you need to understand that when you reject the word of God spoken by anyone, you are rejecting God simple and plain, and therefor you will be rejected as well, when that time comes. [Matthew10;33

[MrWarrenblue]

you're not born loving sex liars! no baby has a sexual preference liars! it is a choice, and only a choice. you don't have to act on every thought that comes to your mind. homosexuals have just been overcome by their desires simple and plain. it is not complex, it is not a mystery, it is simply a choice that was made.

[MrWarrenblue]

no it does not, first of all if you don't believe in God then how can you believe in love, when God is love. contradiction! robbing is wrong, murder is wrong, and homosexuality is wrong, its just not against the law, so do what you do, but stop trying to legitimize your actions. if you wanta be rebellious, then do you, but stop trying to make people feel bad about their belief when you know you are wrong. plus there is only one God, so how can there be many different versions of love?
