Join Lambda Archives for the first event in our 2026 educational series, “The Dykes and Their Friends Between Revolutions,” featuring local Chicana lesbian activists Teresa Oyos and Carolina Ramos in conversation with moderator Liliana Hueso. This panel discussion will explore the intersections of Chicana identity, lesbian community, and activism in the San Diego-Tijuana binational region. Teresa and Carolina will share their personal histories, the communities they helped build, and the ongoing work of creating space for Chicana lesbians in movements for justice and liberation. “The Dykes and Their Friends Between Revolutions” is Lambda’s adaptation of the 1977 book title “The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions” by Larry Mitchell. Mitchell’s visionary work imagined queer liberation through allegorical storytelling, offering a radical vision of community, resistance, and survival during a time of intense political struggle for queer rights. By centering “Dykes” in our series title, we honor the specific histories, activism, and cultural contributions of lesbian and queer women in our region—communities whose stories have often been marginalized even within LGBTQ+ historical narratives. Like Mitchell’s original work, our series explores the spaces “between revolutions”—those crucial moments of organizing, community-building, and resilience that sustain movements for justice across generations. This event is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $15 to support our mission of collecting, preserving, and sharing local queer history.
