Verdict: carrot
Black lesbian fiction exists. It can be wonderful. That being said, it’s difficult to think of many recently published novels or collections specifically about Black lesbians. No subsequent decade has brought about the same mainstream visibility in fiction that the 1980s did for Black lesbians. The stories of lesbian women of colour, lesbian women from other continents, are not so easy to find as the stories of their white, American counterparts. This lack of representation contributes to the marginalisation of Black women both in queer culture and wider society.
