  absolutely lesbian  

Here, we live by the only human rule I've discovered to be true: any woman who has ever felt attracted to another woman is, in that moment, a lesbian. For some it lasts 30 seconds. For me, that moment has blossomed into over 30 years of lesbian life.

The name 'Absolutely Lesbian' is a playful nod to Absolut Vodka, distilled just an hour from my home. It's also a genuine attempt to embrace life as it is. The only thing I know for sure is that in this moment, I am absolutely a lesbian. What the next holds is a blank script.

I'm Gry Ellebjerg, a Swedish journalist, artist, and photographer. I'm traveling across Europe, exploring lesbian life and sharing stories from the Pink Road.

This space is for unpolished voices and experiences. Roam around, explore the stories, and feel free to add your own perspective. Let's go!

Lesbian Tour: Europe

BUDAPEST: Love cannot be banned, Mr. Orbán. When deep love takes action, it is stronger than power. In Budapest, efforts to ban the Pride March failed as over 400,000 eyes witnessed the change. I was there. And this is what I felt.
