Part 1 Imagination in lesbian discourse: inside the switchboards of desire - storytelling on phone-sex lines; lesbian discourse, lesbian knowledge; dykes on bikes meet ladies of Harley. Part 2 Appropriation in lesbian and gay discourse: sex talk - bodies and behaviours in gay erotica; supermodels of the world unite!; political economy and the language of performance among African-American drag queens; stigma transformation and reflexication in the internal diffusion of gays. Part 3 Conclusion: a lavender-tongued reliably-queer lesbian does language on language. (Part contents).
