"Strange town where men aren't wanted"

National Enquirer, Apr 21, 92

LESBIANVILLE, U.S.A. — that’s what they’re calling Northampton, Mass., population 30,000. Some 10,000 women live in the area.

Welcome to Lesbianville, U.S.A. — a bizarre town where so many women love women you can even find them cuddling and kissing on Main Street!

The place is listed on maps as Northampton, Mass., but here are just some of the reasons why it got its nickname:

• Some 10,000 women live in the town or nearby.

• The newspaper publishes announcements of same- engagements and “commitment” ceremonies on the same page as weddings.

• A popular lingerie shop hosts an annual lesbian night.

• One book shop sells “Just Say No to Men” buttons. It also has a lesbian fiction section and a sign telling men to browse elsewhere.

• In bars and restaurants, women hold hands across cozy tables and dance cheek-to-cheek.

• A monthly newspaper lists events such as a lesbian town meeting, plus get-togethers for older lesbians and “Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.”

• About half the town’s small businesses are owned by... (text cut off).

10,000 cuddling, kissing lesbians call it home sweet home

COMMITTED: Karen Bellavance (left) and Beth Grace recently announced their “engagement” in the town’s local newspaper.

OL’ TIME: Even the graffiti is homosexual. On this railroad overpass, two ladies declare their devotion like love-struck teens.

"Northampton (population 30,000) attracts women from all over. Some are permanent residents, but others are just visiting. 'I think it’s kind of nice,' said Beth Grace, whose 'engagement' to fellow Karen Bellavance was recently announced in the town’s Daily Hampshire Gazette."

Enquiring minds want to know... What happened last week

LAST WEEK the number of unmarried American couples living together went up by almost 2,700. Nearly 3.4 million new golf balls—enough to fill 100 pickup trucks or blanket an entire football field!

TW: funny misandry, 1990s knowledge of LGBTQ terms, intense politics, THIS IS A FICTIONAL VERSION OF A TOWN THAT EXISTS IN REAL LIFE, resemblence or coincidence of any real residents are completely coincidental, racism from people outside the town or inside it too, general 90s bullshit, vegans, town has SOME men in it its NOT a womyn's commune
