We’re sorry to have to document this pattern of cotton ceiling harassment within the LGBT community, but the time has come for us to name the problem and speak up against it. We can’t have any more women hurt from this bullying.
Thank you for taking the time to read through.

This is a heavy topic. If you need to talk to someone right now and you’re in Aotearoa you can text or call 1737. There are other helplines and support services available here.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
If you are a lesbian who wants to get involved with our collective you can contact us here.
If you are a member of the media or an organiser in an LGBT organisation in Aotearoa, you are welcome to approach us regarding this issue here.
* It’s also worth noting that research has shown lesbians are actually more likely to date a trans person than gay men or straight people are, yet bullying is overwhelmingly targeted at lesbians. The authors of the linked study singled lesbians out as troubling because we were twice as likely to say we would date a female person (who identifies as a man) than give the ‘correct’ answer of saying we would date a male person (who identifies as a woman). Our exclusive same-sex attraction is constantly problematised.
