1977 Lesbian Questionnaire Newspaper, The Majority Report 2nd Wave Feminism, LG

Description:
This original June 1977 issue of Majority Report: The Women’s Newspaper features one of the most bold and unapologetic feminist covers of the 1970s. Topped with the headline “Who Needs Men?” and shaded in violet and pink tones, this rare newspaper highlights the ongoing conversation around lesbian identity, sexuality, and liberation during the height of second-wave feminism.

The centerpiece of this issue is the in-depth “Lesbian Questionnaire,” a pioneering document designed to gather anonymous data on the sexual and emotional experiences of lesbian women. The accompanying articles address broader questions of love, identity, desire, and societal norms, offering a remarkably candid view of the LGBTQ+ movement in a pre-digital era. With columns on theater reviews, custody battles, and “Diary of a Moonreindeer,” this paper captures both the personal and political with clarity and courage.
