Marathon swimmer, sportscaster and out lesbian Diana Nyad will embark on a 103-mile trip from the shores of Cuba to the Florida Keys with hopes of breaking her own 32-year-old world record for a long-distance swim in an open ocean.

Womenfest, which returns to Key West, Florida, September 7-12, will bring women from all over the world to the southernmost city. For more than 20 years lesbians and their friends have flocked to the tropical island for the end of the summer party to enjoy the sun, entertainment, parties and events designed appeal to a wide range of interests. Performers include Suzanne Westenhoefer, Lori Michaels, Emily Saliers and Jennifer Corday.

It matters that Diana Nyad is a lesbian and an activist, even if some just want to focus on her swimming.

As most lesbians are painfully aware, the boys have many more options when it comes to events and gay-specific travel destinations. But that doesn't mean that the girls have to stay home! Here's to Dinah Shore Weekend, P-Town Women's Week, Aqua Girl and more!

Lesbian-on-lesbian cage matches, a $7 million payout in pro poker, and Abby Wambach's legs made 2013 a kickass year to be a female athlete.

Why hello there lovelies! Hope you’re all nice and fattened up from the holidays. My sister and I decided to play Spot The Lesbian at the Memphis Airport. I thought my gay-dar was malfunctioning after going off for a straight woman with her kids, but it was actually just because of a damn celebrity haircut that all of the straight women are copying even though it looks gayer than flat-top. Kate Gosselin is the poster girl for the bad haircut, something akin to bringing back the mullet. The lesbians in San Francisco know how to party - and leave hilarious messages tagged on bathroom stalls at clubs. 

Battling ocean swells and shoulder pain, champion swimmer Diana Nyad, who happens to be an out lesbian, ended her 103-mile, Cuba-to-Florida attempt early Tuesday, about halfway between Havana and Key West.

A county judge in Florida has ruled that the state's ban on same-sex marriage is in violation of the constitution.

It's a rare instance of good news out of Florida as same-sex couples began marrying today in Miami-Dade County. Couples statewide can enjoy the freedom to marry starting tomorrow.
