Lesbian sexual renegades?
SUMMARY Whereas gay men have idealized the gay man as a sexual renegade, lesbians often are eager to distance themselves from practitioners of "deviant" lesbian sexuality. This paper explores how "acceptable" lesbian desire has been articulated in terms of a vision of "normal" sex that reflects feminine norms, making much of lesbian sex literally and figuratively unspeakable-yet also creating a potentially radical fringe of lesbian sexual outlaws.
