14th September

Save the date! The Lesbian Strength March and Rally is back in Leeds, UK on Saturday 14th September 2024. Come and join us and together, lesbians will not be erased

2023

Cancelled

Sadly for the hardworking Lesbian Strength Collective, bureaucratic events beyond our control saw our event cancelled, firstly in Leeds and then also in Halifax.

2022

17th September

In 2022 it was the death of Queen Elizabeth II that put a stop to our March, but our Rally was a great success with some wonderful speeches and performances.

2021

26th April

Due to the restrictions placed upon us as a result of covid, Lesbian Strength organised a panel discussion featuring lesbians from around the world.

2020

5th September

Unfortunately, in 2020 the coronavirus pandemic prevented us from holding a march, so instead we created a virtual event  on 5th September 2020.

2019

7th September

Our first Lesbian Strength March took place on Saturday 7th September 2019 in Leeds. Approximately 150 lesbians took part in the March through Leeds City Centre!

Planning for the 2024 Lesbian Strength march and rally is all but done. Now all we need is an idea of the numbers we might see on the day, so if you are planning on coming and getting your lesbian stomp on, please let us know by reserving a free place via Eventbrite.

Thank you and we can’t wait to see you soon and let Leeds and the world know that lesbians will NOT be erased. EVER!

LESBIAN VOICES, LOUD & CLEAR

This year for the 2024 Lesbian Strength march and rally we are adding a #WeStandWithLesbians banner to the rear of the march which supporters of lesbians are welcome to march behind to show their support and amplify our presence and voices as we fight against the erosion of our rights. Come and join us to make some noise for your lesbian sisters.

We would also very much welcome Hetrosexual and Bi women to support us by stewarding the march with us, freeing up some of our lesbian stewards to take part in the march at the front.

About Us

Lesbian Strength was formed by a group of lesbian feminists in 2019. Lesbians have long been marginalised within the ‘LGBT community’ but there has been increasing hostility towards lesbians, lesbian identity and the fundamental idea that lesbians are women who are exclusively same-sex attracted. 

How We Show Lesbian Strength

We organised our first event in Leeds in 2019. Lesbian Strength marches were held in the UK, the first in 1981 and then throughout the 1980s. They were women-only events and it was important to us to build on this herstory and restart this tradition.

Promoting Lesbian Strength & Unity

Why Have We Set Up Lesbian Strength?

Lesbian Strength was formed by a group of lesbian feminists in 2019. Lesbians have long been marginalised within the ‘LGBT community’ but there has been increasing hostility towards lesbians, lesbian identity and the fundamental idea that lesbians are women who are exclusively same-sex attracted. 

What Do Lesbian Strength Stand For?

We believe that separate organising is the only way to build a strong, supportive community for lesbians. Our aims as a group are:

  • To oppose lesbian erasure
  • To amplify the voices of lesbians
  • To build community amongst lesbians
What Is The Herstory Behind Lesbian Strength?

We organised our first event in Leeds in 2019. Lesbian Strength marches were held in the UK, the first in 1981 and then throughout the 1980s. They were women-only events and it was important to us to build on this herstory and restart this tradition. Leeds is a city with a proud feminist tradition, the first Reclaim the Night march was held in Leeds in 1977 and it is strongly associated with Revolutionary Feminism. 

As A Lesbian How Can I Get Involved?
