When we think about gay neighborhoods, many of us are not immediately imagining lesbians. But like gay men, lesbians also have certain cities, neighborhoods, and small towns in which they are more likely to live. Click here to read my latest essay on unique lesbian geographies.
Writing for The Society Pages, Lisa Wade picked up on my essay and continued to explore why gay men and lesbians don’t always share the same spaces and places. Read her post here.
Pacific Standard magazine picked up Wade’s post, which you can read here.
Shortly after Lisa Wade published her post, the Metro Vancouver newspaper called me for an interview about the subject. Read their story, “Lesbian Couples ‘Trailblazers’ of Trendy Neighborhoods,” here.
Next came The Langara Voice newspaper. Read the story, entitled “Lesbian Couples Predict Hot Property Markets,” here.
Perhaps the most comprehensive coverage came from blogger Riese, who is also the CEO, CFO, and editor-in-chief of Autostraddle. Check out her piece, “Where Do Lesbians Live?,” here.
I also gave a live radio interview on CBC (“On the Coast”) with host Stephen Quinn.
Listen to the interview here (time: 39:15), entitled “Lesbians and Urban Renewal.”
The conversation culminated in a focused interview with the Globe and Mail.
