In 1985 my life partner of 33 years died. For many years we had been part of a large "friendship group" that got together for meals and games. After her death, I found myself on the edge of the group. I felt invisible. The group, composed primarily of couples, didn't know what to do with the single person they had suddenly become.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p className="text-lg text-[#48286e] leading-relaxed" style={{ fontFamily: "'Nunito Sans', sans-serif" }}>
|
||||
When I moved to Houston in 1992, I again found myself isolated. I had friends, but not being "coupled" in a "couples world" left me on the outside. I was aware of my advancing age – I was 63 at the time - and I was sure that I was the only "old lesbian" in Houston. I checked out the Montrose bars, but to my dismay, found that older lesbians were non-existent; at least they didn't hang out in bars.

The Founding Mothers of LOAF are Ruth Sathre (nurse), JoAnn Beene (psychologist), Delores Nason (business woman), JoAnn Loulan (psychologist and writer, now living in Guerneville, CA), and Judy Peyton (social worker). We decided to form a group for Lesbians Over Fifty and began the search for others "like us."

<p className="text-lg text-[#48286e] leading-relaxed mb-4" style={{ fontFamily: "'Nunito Sans', sans-serif" }}>
|
||||
In 1993, we advertised in OutSmart Magazine, the Houston gay magazine, and invited interested women to join us at a local restaurant. Founding mothers and 19 other women came to that first meeting. Since then the group has gone through many evolutions.

<li><strong>AGE OF PARTICIPANTS</strong> - we started off as LOAFF - Lesbians over Age Fifty-Five. The extra F stood for 55, which didn't work very well, so we changed to LOAF and lowered the age to 50.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>NAME FOR THE GROUP</strong> - LOAFF and then LOAF</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>NUMBER OF EVENTS</strong> - Some of the early years we had events every Saturday afternoon, but as we aged, we cut back to one event each month, then we went to the current format of one event during the week, either afternoon or evening, and a weekend activity.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>TYPES OF EVENTS</strong> - We've had LOTS of different events. Some of the events we have had include: going to a museum, going to the symphony, seeing a play or movie together, going out to dinner, pot luck dinners, game nights, campfires, hiking, kayaking, and more.</li>

We have never had a formal organization with by-laws and officers. We have operated on a consensus basis with the founders making most of the decisions. One of the early decisions we made was that we would not have any kind of formal membership. We wanted to be as inclusive as possible and not create any barriers to participation.

<p className="text-lg text-[#48286e] leading-relaxed" style={{ fontFamily: "'Nunito Sans', sans-serif" }}>

We have always been self-supporting. We have never charged dues or asked for donations. Each person pays for their own meal or activity. We have never had a budget or a bank account. We have been able to operate this way because we have always kept our activities simple and inexpensive.

Over the years, LOAF has been a place where women can be themselves, where they can talk about their lives and their experiences without fear of judgment. We have created a safe space for women to explore their sexuality and their identity as lesbians.

<p className="text-lg text-[#48286e] leading-relaxed" style={{ fontFamily: "'Nunito Sans', sans-serif" }}>

Many women have told us that LOAF has been a lifeline for them, especially as they age and find themselves increasingly isolated. LOAF has provided a community and a sense of belonging that has been invaluable.

LOAF has also been a place where women can give back to the community. Many of our members have been active in various LGBTQ+ organizations and causes. We have marched in Pride parades, volunteered at LGBTQ+ events, and supported various LGBTQ+ initiatives.
