Communicating trauma through art is fine, as long as you don’t remind the Christian fundies that their beliefs and practices are a prime source of religious trauma for lots of people.

So what, like girls kissing?
Looks at art
OH SHE SPICY. Absolutely love it.
Sorry about the rant it’s not aimed at you specifically but at society. I hate that all of lesbian art is so often assumed to be romantic or images of women going at it. Like that’s part of it, but it’s also poetry and music and a lot of self portraits in a variety of media and comics like Alison Bechdel’s Dykes to Watch Out For.
Our community has built a lot of its art in the pursuit of identity and self. And a lot of it involves trying to avoid our eroticism being consumed by the men who fetishize our love.
Lesbian art is this teenager pouring her pain onto a canvas. It is as high a form of lesbian art as I’ve had the privilege to see.
