Lively Hearth is a folk duo that's 50% lesbian by volume, so please enjoy some images of me doing classic Lesbian Activities such as playing dress-up for pride, enjoying nature, being a fun auntie, and loving my bi fiancée and bandmate 🏳️‍🌈

Also featuring: signing the guest book in Shibden Hall

And an extreme throwback to my early lesbian-with-guitar days:

Need a soundtrack for the day? Here's a playlist featuring us, and some of my favorite lesbian musicians!

It's #LesbianVisibilityDay!

Did you know 💜violet flowers💜 used to be a lesbian symbol?

Often featured in Greek poet Sappho's writings, violets also made a comeback in the 1927 Broadway play, “The Captive," about two lesbians, where one woman sends a bouquet of violets to her lover. There was so much public uproar about the play that protestors and police shut down the final performance in France. But the violet became known as the "lesbian flower," and supporters of the play would wear them in their lapels, or as a subtle symbol to other women that they were gay. 🌸
