Dyke
Identity - A March for All Dykes!
This march is for DYKES. Dykes gather at the Dyke March to
celebrate our love
and passion for women and for ALL dykes. We celebrate our
queerness in all its
manifestations. We understand DYKE IDENTITY to include
those of us who are
questioning and challenging gender constructs and the
social definitions of
women, and who are gender fluid. We also welcome all women
who want to support
dykes to march with us. Celebrate Dyke Diversity!
We continue to demand that the Dyke March and rally be
DYKE- ONLY SPACE. In
other words, we ask that men NOT participate, but rather
that our brothers
support us from the sidelines, cheering us on and helping
with finances or other
support.
Who We Are
The coordinating committee is a crew of community-oriented
dykes who come
together from varying backgrounds through our love of dykes
and for the San
Francisco Dyke March. We are grateful for the work of the
DM's founders (the
Original Girls) over its first 13 years, for their
continued guidance, and for
the foundation they laid that we now stand upon in our work
to keep the annual
March thriving. We are femmes, butches, and
otherwise-identified;
dykes-of-color, dykes of mixed race, Jewish dykes, and
white dykes; dykes of
varying ages and classes. Some of us identify as queer, or
as genderqueer.
We are each of us dykes seeking to put our myriad talents
to use
for our communities.
This committee could not bring you each year's Dyke March
without the help of
dedicated volunteers, exceptional performers willing to
donate their phenomenal
talent at fundraisers and at the rally, small businesses
(most of which are
dyke- and woman-owned) donating services, a few small
grants and a lot of
t-shirt sales (buy those t- shirts!). Thank you!
