L.U.S.T. Conference, 1992

The L.U.S.T (Lesbians Undoing Sexual Taboos) conference was held at the Greenberg Lounge of New York University’s School of Law on November 7, 1992. The conference was co-sponsored by the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center and the Lesbian and the Gay Law Students of NYU. The conference, with an attendance of two hundred women, consisted of various workshops on sexuality and sex positivity dealing exclusively with lesbian sex, relationships, and sexual health. Speakers came from a wide variety of backgrounds, sexual histories, and ages.

The idea for the conference emerged from a panel discussion on lesbian sex and was developed by a diverse and multicultural organizing committee group including political activists, community organizers, performance artists, and writers from New York City and elsewhere.
