The Butch Lesbians of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s Coloring Book
This was clearly a work of love for the artists and writers of the Butch Coloring Book – and a much-needed homage to butches everywhere, many of whom have lived their lives in stealth and invisibility. Reading their stories and seeing their images was inspiring. Brave, fabulous folx who lived authentically and out loud – thank you so much for bringing them to life in such an amazingly creative way.

What Does LGBTQ+ Stand For?
People often use LGBTQ+ to mean all of the communities included in the “LGBTTTQQIAA”:
- Lesbian
- Gay
- Bisexual
- Transgender
- Transsexual
- 2/Two-Spirit
- Queer
- Questioning
- Intersex
- Asexual
- Ally
+ Pansexual
+ Agender
+ Gender Queer
+ Bigender
+ Gender Variant
+ Pangender
LGBTQ is the more commonly used term in the community; possibly because it is more user-friendly! You may also hear the terms “Queer Community” or “Rainbow Community” used to describe LGBTQ2+ people. This initialism and the various terms are always evolving so don’t try to memorize the list. The most important thing is to be respectful and use the terms that people prefer.
