Biographical history
Lesbianews was established as a newsletter in 1989 to provide a public and safe forum for lesbian communication and exploration in poetry, short fiction and non-fiction. The first issue included the editorial policy, which stated that anything submitted would be printed, unless the editor considered it to be racist, sexist, homophobic, ageist, classist, able-bodyist, anti-semitic, or a personal attack. A previous lesbian newsletter in the Victoria area was entitled, Flagrant. The first editor was Debby Gregory. The February and March issues of 1993 were entitled, Ellenews.
