Sara Marcus -- pictured above--author of the new book Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution, says the punk ladies of the ’90s changed not only music and style but also sexual boundaries. 'Although none of Riot Grrrl’s original progenitors identified as lesbians, the movement had taken much of its inspiration from the gay punk networks of the late ’80s and early ’90s. And by 1996, when all the bands originally associated with Riot Grrrl had broken up or were headed that way, the torch was passed to a new wave of specifically queer musicians: all-lesbian supergroup Team Dresch (who frequently toured with Bikini Kill in their early years), power-poppers the Butchies, avant-metal duos the Haggard and the Need.'

On a return trip to  Europe after headlining at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, Valaida Snow was captured in Nazi- occupied  Copenhagen and interned in a concentration camp. It is rumored that Snow was sent to a concentration camp no only because she was black but also because of her friendships with German women musicians -- implying lesbianism.
