Eureka moment at the Rev Rad conference – Septembe

1979


Shortly afterwards, Trisha went to the in September 1979. “Ideas have always been more attractive, will grab and pull me in a particular direction. It crystallised it for me, it was like a kind of ‘eureka’ moment, an absolute guillotine that came down, and that was it! I came back saying ‘I’m a political lesbian’. Which was a lot easier than trauma about ‘Should I or shouldn’t I?’, it made it very easy. I’d had a relationship with a woman but was still in theory in a relationship with a bloke, so I came back from Leeds and I immediately ended the relationship. It wasn’t big news to him, I just came back and said ‘Sorry, I’m a lesbian, no hard feelings’.
