About this listen

Lala and Peelo G. take us back to the early 2000s, reflecting on how they first identified when they came out and the language that shaped them. From “lipstick lesbian” to “he/him lesbian,” they break down how these terms evolved. How do words like “dyke,” “butch,” or “stud” sit differently today? Lala and Peelo G. dive into the importance of language in shaping queer identity and why staying current is part of community care. Dive into the San Francisco queer bar scene, gender play in the 90s, and how the community continues to redefine itself. Expect stories from the pre-Instagram lesbian scene, the politics of labels, and what we’ve left behind.

🌈 New terms, same gay panic.
