Who says the attraction is sexual Glenn? That's a gender-normative response!
But seriously (because Maria's question was a serious one), for those who
are not 'in the know' Kirsten Hearn is a well known disabled lesbian
activist in the UK and the title of her article refers to the fact that
disabled lesbians frequently do not have access to spaces where they can
'cruise' i.e. scout the scenery for 'like kind'. Time to swot up on lesbian
feminist geography?
Best, Mairian
