Mixing at the Old Mo
1980
“We (the feminists) had a lot of social
contact with other lesbians, mainly around the Old Moseley Arms pool
room. The ‘straight dykes’ (meaning non-feminists who’d come through
the gay scene rather than the women's liberation movement), thought we
were really odd, we got on, and got to know each other, they always
took the piss out of us, but it wasn’t a big scene so you’d keep
bumping into the same women, so you had to get on at one level”.
