Sometimes X, Sometimes Y, Always Me, is an anthology of of writings and poetry from South Africa lesbians. The anthology is now available online as an e-book published by the Triangle Project on behalf of the Joint Working Group for LGBTs in South Africa. The herstories and poems are moving testimonies that speak to the reality of lesbian life in South Africa – in the words of Ulla Kelly in her piece “Really Bad Lesbian Pottery”:
Celebrating difference,celebrating strangeness,fighting against
uniformity,is the only way we can guarantee a tolerant and safe society.
The book is divided into four sections covering: Coming Out, Homophobia, Diversity and Hope and is dedicated to Zoliswa Nkonyana, a 19 year old lesbian who was “clubbed, kicked and beaten to death by a mob of about 20 young men on February 4 (Cape Town 2006)”.
