“By being the curator of our images, we care for our souls.”  Thomas Moore

What a lovely quote for anyone who works with images.  Writers.  Painters.  Photographers.  Musicians.  Others.  The work we do is care for our souls, isn’t it?

This is why it is so important for lesbians (as well as gay men, African-Americans, Asian Americans, people with autism and so on, including everyone who isn’t the mainstream “norm), to represent and be represented in the literature, art, film, theatre, dance, music and other arts.  It’s not just about politics and justice.  It’s about souls.
