issue 3 - love & lust

The call: "The Meaning of Our Love for Women is What We Have Constantly to Expand" read the title of an essay by Adrienne Rich written in the '70s. Have we expanded the meaning of this love in the years since, and if so, how? Given cultural phenomena like "The L Word" and "Queer as Folk" is it still possible to argue that love between women is a powerful force for healing and political change? That lesbian desire is qualitatively different from heterosexual or homosexual desire?
