Life can be challenging for a Black girl or woman who is gay knowing that most people don't understand her or won't include her as a member of society. How can she overcome such a huge barrier and face the world at the same time? She does not need to survive or pretend to be nonexistent anymore. She has every right and authority to be herself, but first she must learn how to cope. She is one step closer to being liberated by investing in herself and I wrote "Lesbian Erasure: How To Cope (Black Lesbian Edition)" to guide her through the process of maintaining her identity and authenticity and my hope is to alleviate the pain and struggle, because Sisters work together and not alone.
"Lesbian Erasure: How To Cope (Black Lesbian Edition)" is about the experiences of having three strikes against you for being:
1. Black,
2. Lesbian, and
3. Woman
…in a bigoted, homophobic, misogynistic, prejudiced, religious, and sexist Heteronormative society.
"Lesbian Erasure: How To Cope (Black Lesbian Edition)" addresses Black girls and women who identify as Lesbian not being acknowledged in society. We are often not recognized by anyone who considers Lesbianism as a form of deception, an identity crisis and/or a phase.
Lesbian Erasure is usually displayed in a couple of categories:
1. The first category are people who refer to Black Lesbian girls and women by using stereotypes, terms or phrases that highlight Black, Lesbian girls and women in a derogatory manner, such as, the name calling: "Dyke", "Lesbo", or "Carpet Muncher" or the stereotypical "Macho-Woman" who wants to be a man.
The stereotypes and harsh rhetoric are extremely offensive, cruel, and absurd and the people who are participating in the verbal attacks and nonsense are intentionally referring to Lesbians or Homosexual girls and women unlike people who are in the secondary category,
2. The second category are people opposed to even acknowledging or believing that Black Lesbians or Homosexual girls and women exist.
Whenever Black, Lesbian girls and women are depicted in society as a Group we are often targeted and portrayed in a negative light and treated poorly, marginalized, and degraded by disrespectful women and men due to their Bigotry, Homophobia, and Heterosexual Privilege.
"Lesbian Erasure: How To Cope (Black Lesbian Edition)" was not written exclusively for Black girls or women who are lesbians because the intention of this book is to reach the masses and rectify the crisis of Lesbian Erasure.
We are not designed to be divided or marginalized by society or by any other means, but we are to celebrate the connection between our Lesbian Identity and Spiritual Identity as a whole.
"Lesbian Erasure: How To Cope (Black Lesbian Edition)" is to affirm that no one can remove, replace, or erase our Identity as Black, Lesbian Women.
