A friend in Argentina has asked me to circulate this press release about the
creation of lesbian space, La Casa de las Lunas, in Buenos Aires. Considering
the history of repression in that country, La Casa de las Lunas is something
of a miracle.

The founders want to garner support for La Casa de las Lunas by establishing
its existence as firmly as possible throughout the world. Please re-post this
press release to the lists and newsgroups you know of on the net.

Muchas gracias.

Argentinian Lesbians Now Have Their Own Space

Buenos Aires.  La Casa de las Lunas, "House of the Moons," has opened its
doors.  It is the first space created in Argentina for and by lesbians.
Nevertheless, it welcomes all women.

Women from diverse sectors of the lesbian and feminist communities are
converging at House of the Moons, where they can count on finding an
atmosphere that encourages their coming together in solidarity, where
differences are respected and visibility is possible. House of the Moons has
spawned many projects and activities, among them these: attention to the
psychological needs of lesbians (lesbian feminist therapy), groups for
reflection and study, workshops in artistic expression (plastic arts, music,
writing, theater, mime, etc.), a library, foreign language classes, a movie
discussion circle, and live performances.

A spokesperson for the house, one of the founders, says, "A new era is
beginning for lesbians in Argentina.  We are writing a new history and the
most important thing is that each and every one of us has a page to write."
