“all lesbians are sneaky”

Chloé A. Hilliard has an interesting article over at the Village Voice, subheaded “Young lesbians in Brooklyn find that a thug’s life gets them more women.”From one woman’s hypermasculine assertion that “all lesbians are sneaky,” to Don Vito’s organization of her peers into a “house,” there are many places where this article intersects with our interests in performance and identity, both viz. gender and also race. We haven’t quite gotten to girlpower and hip-hop, nor to performativity in Paris Is Burning in Racial Passing, but I couldn’t resist posting this now!

At the article site, you’ll also find an audio interview with the article’s author, and a slideshow.
