Original painting by Erin Brott-Holtzman from queer flowers series. This painting is of a piece of lavender overlapping a magenta colored background.

Lavender Menace “The associations between certain flowers and the queer experience is a rabbit hole I fall down often. The stories about all the brave folks who worked in the Gay Liberation Front in the 1970’s are beautiful and relevant. They were part of the wave of “Lavender Menace” fighting for visibility or lesbians in the women's movement. Lavender is a color that has a long historical significance in representing resistance and power within the queer community. It’s soft and bold qualities symbolize the importance of the women's movement throughout history. Women’s rights are especially important to fight for in this moment as we work to support ALL women but especially our trans sisters of color. - Erin Brott-Holtzman
