lesbian festival: the Dinah
Nice article.
Every year at the end of March, 20,000 lesbians from around the world
fly into the Californian desert for five days of debauchery, and I’m one
of them. It’s my second time at the Dinah, also known as the largest
girl festival in the world. I’m staying at the Hilton in Palm Springs,
which is hosting the famous Dinah pool parties, and the hotel feels like
a homosexual harem.
It’s a surreal experience: for a few days the world is turned upside
down, the minority is suddenly the majority. Everywhere you look,
lesbians are smiling, drinking, dancing, kissing. There are a few men
around – staff working the event and guys who have been dragged along by
lesbian friends – but they are hard to spot. It’s basically entirely
queer women in attendance.
Yay debauchery, not as a lifestyle choice but as a break from the fear and judgment. A little now 'n then is probably healthy, fun and informative.
