I watched a documentary last night that is on Netflix(I don't have NF so I watched it through other means). Anywho, the documentary was produced by Ryan Murphey; he's the creator and producer of shows like Popular, Glee, American Horror Story, Feud to say the least. The movie is called A Secret Love. It's about these two Canadian women(they moved to Chicago early in their relationship) who fell in love during the 1940s and didn't tell a soul until about four or so years ago. They had been together for about 64 years by the time the documentary was produced. They got married last year or 2018.

The documentary is absolutely beautiful and sad because one of them does pass on in 2019. I would say this is positive because the women met, fell in love, remained faithful to one another, and stayed together until death. Their families were supportive when they finally confessed; they had loving friends to lean on as well, with solid careers that allowed them to live comfortably.

I watched this when it came out couple months back and still think about it. Its a must watch for any lesbian.They were truly soul mates and chose each other at a time when it was tough being independent women let alone homosexual as well. Really inspiring ladies.

Well, Olha Kobylianska was lesbian writer. And Lesia Ukrainka was bisexual. Both are most famous our ukrainian writters.

Sophia Jex-Blake was lesbian, I think.

In female football (soccer) there are a lot of lesbians too!

and throughout history

That is hard task, as majority of time world was homophobic, and world is not believing in love withpout penises even nowadays, so it is very hard to know for sure!

What do you mean? "Ukrainka" is literally "ukrainian-girl" on Ukrainian!

And they both were in relationship with each other, by the way. They were writting pretty hot letters, however, because those were delivered by other people, they were hiding it in innuendos and never calling themselves by names, they were referring "the lighter one" and "the darker one" or "one" and "another", referring to hair color, and hiding most hot stuff in innuendos. Imagine sexting someone when next message will come in weeks or months? :D

I would reccomend to read "Princess" of Kobylianska, btw. She was herself "self-learned" and studied a lot of stuff herself, as she could only get few classes of school, as she was a woman in late 1800s, so yeah. And she was writing about women who were defeating the "weak stupid woman" stereotype and were commanding their life on their own.

Lesia was mostly writting pretty good verses.

    Ha ha. "Suka" is Russian, "kurwa" is Polish - funny enough, our language don't have harsh swearing at all, all swearings are imported words :D

    Suka is italian swearing too, south italian, meaning to suck, specifically dick :D

    Literal meaning of "suka" is "female dog" and is not swear word, however, it is used as swear word that means "bitch". "Kurwa" (analogue to "bliad'") means both "bith" and "slut", however it is used mostly as americans are using "fuck", just "swear word in any situation".

      Why?

      I don't know why. Most our namecalling is very humid or calm, and, well, language is very soft as well. Something like "little devil" or something from normal words like "let the spirits play tricks with you!" or "naked shame!", and similar. There more strong ones in older times, but they are mostly around poop or rotten food. It is interesting, as majority of other languages have their foul language around sex (and or namecalling women).

      I am derailing my own post... sorry.

      Sorry x2 :D

      Kurva is the Serbian equivalent, since we don't have w in our alphabet. It means the same though.
