The New Lesbian Existence

After a thorough reading of Adrienne Rich's 'Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence' (1980), I decided to sit down and chat with Peyton (21) and Melanie "Mel" (26) after capturing their relationship with a romantic photoshoot in the park. We talked about compulsory heterosexuality's affect on women today, how the lesbian existence interacts with feminism, and how these topics show up in their own relationship.
