title: The politics of potlucks.
abstract: Abstract "The Politics of Potlucks" examines the issue of how friends deal with the challenging dilemma of breakups in a lesbian community. While lover relationships often have a finite duration, the need for cohesiveness in the community requires strategies for integration. The lesbian potluck is an effective tool. This is a lighthearted look at a very real situation in our community.
