SAPA RESIDENCIAL PARK

Ok. Existe um momento na vida de algumas sapas que ser dyke não é suficiente. Não basta degustar meninas. Não basta confraternizar em lugares gayfriendly. Não basta que sua mãe e a vizinhança saibam… é preciso mais. É preciso viver 24hrs dyke. Acabei de ler um artigo no New York Times que fala sobre uma comunidade lésbica no Alabama dotada de um portal codificado com uma senha que impede a entrada de homens e mulheres heteros. That’s it. 

My Sister’s Keeper

THEY called it a lesbian paradise, the pioneering women who made their way to St. Augustine, Fla., in the 1970s to live together in cottages on the beach. Finding one another in the fever of the gay rights and women’s liberation movements, they built a matriarchal community, where no men were allowed, where even a male infant brought by visitors was cause for debate.

Emily Greene was one of those pioneers, and at 62 she still chooses to live in a separate lesbian world. She and 19 other women have built homes on 300 rural acres in northeast Alabama, where the founders of the Florida community, the Pagoda, relocated in 1997.

Behind a locked gate whose security code is changed frequently, the women pursue quiet lives in a community they call Alapine, largely unnoticed by their Bible Belt neighbors — a lost tribe from the early ’70s era of communes and radical feminism. “I came here because I wanted to be in nature, and I wanted to have lesbian neighbors,” said Ms. Greene, a retired nurse. She hopes the women, ages 50 to 75, will be able to raise enough money to build assisted-living facilities on the land and set up hospice care.
