What Bolt fails to recognize is that lesbians are oppressed at least twice over, on the basis of our sex and sexuality [..] Around the world, lesbians continue to be at risk of discrimination and violence [..] In multiple countries, being lesbian or gay is actively criminalized. Some states even punish homosexuality by death.

I was with the author until this. Lesbians don't face anywhere near the level of violence and discrimination that gay men do. I know it's not a competition but there's clearly an agenda from the author. And I couldn't help but notice that she talks about discrimination against gays and lesbians, but then carefully avoids admitting that only male homosexuality is punishable by death in countries that have laws prohibiting it.

Some states even punish homosexuality by death. This all happens as backlash against lesbians saying no to males.

Really?
