Homosexuality: First English-speaking lesbian organisation
The first open and avowed organisation to cater
exclusively for
lesbian interests was in Britain. Established at the beginning of 1964 under the title, Minorities
Research Group
(M.R.G.), it followed an article, "A quick look at lesbians," by a journalist Dilys Rowe, which
appeared in
"Twentieth Century" (winter 1962-3, pp. 67-72). A lesbian was quoted as saying
that "the thing that hurts a
homosexual woman most is that the heterosexual does not recognise the spiritual quality of
her love." Another
lesbian replied in a subsequent issue of the magazine to the effect that what was resented was
not that the
spirituality of her life was doubted by the heterosexual, but its authenticity. The heterosexual
does not realise how
hard the homosexual woman finds it to imagine what it is to be in love with a man.
