Hello, lesbian friends and friends of lesbians!
Welcome to Lyke Mag, Philadelphia’s new online lesbian magazine. Lyke is a labor of love, produced by two local journalists: myself, Raeann, and my friend and partner in crime, Izzy. Our staff includes some photographers, monthly contributors, and a web designer, all supportive of and understanding of what it means to be a lesbian in the 215 and beyond. Like Sisters, Fuse, the Dyke March, and the many other local organizations, Lyke wants to be in the vocabulary of every lesbian in the area. We will be discussing hard-hitting issues like gender and feminism, as well as the fun stuff, like embarrassing coming out stories and things to do when you’re bored. Izzy will be keeping you up to date on what’s going on in the land of lesbian entertainment, with reviews, “Dykes We Lyke,” a monthly column that focuses on important dykes throughout history. On the flip side of that, I will be zeroing in on local dykes who are moving and shaking up Philly. Rounding out Lyke will be a bit of fiction and poetry, all collaged with photographs from local dyke and dyke-friendly photographers. Sounds pretty fuckin’ cool, right?
