POSTS STORIES REELS

35 years of bringing lesbians together… and I’m not stopping anytime soon. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
From the pages of Curve to the events where we get to actually be in the same room, this community has given me so much.
I’m grateful I get to keep doing this.
And yes… I’m still having a lot of fun. 😉 by @francostevens

Celebrating a decade since I married my beloved @raininjen Jen when marriage became legal nationwide! We had already tied the knot a few times before, but this one was different. It was legal, and we even made it onto the front cover of The New York Times! What a milestone! Jen, I love you to the moon and back! ❤️🥂 🏳️‍🌈#LoveWins #MarriageEquality #10YearsStrong #loveislove by @francostevens

SF's Official Lesbian Pie Eating Contest! Raising money for Lesbian Visibility Week (April 20-26, 2026) - Save the Date!📅 by @francostevens

Happy National Coming Out Day from all of us at Lesbian Visibility Week!

Coming out is personal. Do it on your own terms, in your own time, and in your own way. Today, we celebrate the lesbians and everyone else who has come out, those who are still finding their way, and those who may not yet feel safe to do so.

Who was there for you when you came out? Tag them below and let them know what they mean to you. ❤️

Happiness is feeling a horse walk beneath you. One of those moments that reminds me just how much joy can live in your body, even a body with chronic pain. Getting to ride a horse, to actually feel that movement, is pretty damn magical. ❤️

Since our Shane Lookalike Contest reel went viral, we couldn’t leave these photos sitting in our camera roll. 🥵

The energy at @rikkisbarsf for @curvemag & @curvefdn's Shane Lookalike Contest was absolute paradise. From the haircuts to the vests, the San Francisco sapphics truly understood the assignment. ✂️

Best of all? This epic afternoon of styling was a fundraiser to support @lesbianvisibilityweekusa programming! Community, nostalgia, and a room full of Shanes Does it get any better? by @francostevens
