Rudyard Kipling said: If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.The snippets of LGBTQ history here are the stories of our lives, the stories of the giants on whose shoulders we all stand. Learn about them then tell the stories…and remember, because knowing your history IS resistance! Thanks for

Ronni’s works in process:

The Key West Lesbian Story
as told by Sarah the Cat

Coming in the fall, 2018. $15.99

The last lesbian Key West guest house closed last year. Sara Cat has seen it all in her 150 years: the women pirates, the women cigar growers, the writers and poets an d entrepreneurs – all women – who came to Key West. Some stayed, some left, but all left their mark on a lesbian community that has seen many changes. Closeted women, out women, young women and elders, all with their own words and language and understanding of what it means to be a lesbian. I was a tiny kitten, in the first of my nine lives, when I came to Key West from Cuba with Louisa. I share with you what I know which may or may not be the truth. Years ago, I remember hearing one of the writers in town, maybe Ernest or maybe Tennessee, who knows, say something like, "I never let truth get in the way of a good story." Nor shall I.
