Speech To San Francisco's Fourth Annual Dyke March
by Ren Volpe
Lesbian Activist


Welcome to San Francisco's Fourth Annual Dyke March! Are you psyched to be here? Do you know how fabulous you all look from up here? You women are fucking beautiful!


Tonight, together all 30,000 of us are creating change just by being here. Tonight, we can't be ignored. Tonight, we are definitely not invisible!

But the Dyke March is about way more than just dyke visibility. Look around you. Look at the woman in front of you. Look at the woman behind you. Go ahead, look at her. At this moment we are a vision of what community could look like. We are all here! Tonight, the streets belong to us. For this one night we can make our voices heard! For this one night we are thirty thousand strong and we have the power. We are a force to be reckoned with! How does it feel?

Women, we can have this every day! We can create this kind of strength, solidarity and sisterhood every single day of the year! What would it take to unleash our power?

There are a million ways to make change. There are a million ways to unleash our dyke power. Tonight, we want all of you to make noise and take up lots of space! We want you to take your shirts off, stop traffic and dance in the streets!

And tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, we gotta keep this energy going. There are a million ways to unleash our dyke power.

What can we do?
We can eat more pussy!
Eat more ice cream!
We can organize!
We can get angry!
We can demand respect!
Don't take shit from men!
Remember Lorena Bobbit!
