7 September 1972

Violet September

"We call ourselves Violet September now, because in September we understood that political consciousness of the feminist movement has not even begun yet." The Dutch lesbian feminist group 'Purperen Mien' (Purple Mina) owes this brainwave to the Palestinian terrorist organization 'Black September' which manifested itself during the Olympics in Munich (Germany) in September 1972.
`Violet September' preaches homosexuality as a political choice and refuses to believe any longer in heterosexual feminists. "The question now arises whether or not a woman who is conscious of her position of slavery may sleep with her oppressor."
