'70s Philly: Lesbians Fight Back
DykeTactics! 1975 Protest in Philadelphia
Out-FM's Bob Lederer interviews Paola Bacchetta, a lesbian of color of mixed heritages who has been a radical intersectional feminist activist for over four decades. Today she is Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of California Berkeley. Professor Bacchetta recounts her work in the 1970s with a militant lesbian group in Philadelphia called DykeTactics! and their long battles with the police department over their brutal treatment of a nonviolent protest against the City Council for refusing to pass a lesbian/gay rights bill.
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Go to outfm.org for the broadcast date for Part 2.
