New: Discussion Forums
May 13th
In the hopes of building a new lesbian community here at lesbian.org, I’ve just created discussion forums. Follow the link to Forums above, which will launch a new page. On that page follow the link to register for a free account. Right now the only restrictions are that you must be over 18 and identify as a lesbian or bisexual woman. Please join and tell your friends! Hopefully we can get some conversation going on a variety of topics. I’ll expand the forums to respond to user’s needs.
