PROBABLY AND DEFINITELY
Like it started changing
In Kolkata with
THE EMERGENCE OF SAPPHO,
A Support Group of Lesbians and Bisexual Women in Eastern India

THE YEAR 1998

FIRE released.. both in theatres and in the psyche of the Indians.
FIRE was the First Indian Cinema to project Lesbian Love.
Two things were crystal clear
The Very Presence of Indian Lesbians
The very resistance of the Indian Homophobic Society

THE YEAR 1999

Far from the fiery warfield of FIRE in Mumbai and Delhi
The eight girls of Kolkata were also very much eager

TO BREAK THE SILENCE

TO BUILD A BOND OF LOVE AND TRUST.

THEY GOT THE COURAGE.

THEY FORMED SAPPHO.

SAPPHO: The Emotional Support Group of Lesbian & Bisexual Women in Eastern India.

SAPPHO, the space for interaction between Lesbian & Bi-sexual Women, has been proved to be a very affirming and validating experience for them by boosting up their confidence and self esteem.

Formed by eight Lesbian women on the 20th June 1999 in Kolkata (India). They formed the group who decided to extend support to Lesbian & Bi-sexual Women who face social isolation and untold misery.
