In April of 1981, the British Leeds Revolutionary Feminist Group wrote a paper titled “Political Lesbianism: The Case Against Heterosexuality”. In this paper, the group stated that “all feminists can and should be political lesbians”, coining the term “political lesbianism”. This term was used to describe a “chosen” type of lesbian. These activists believed that all women should be political lesbians, even if they were attracted to men, by actively choosing not to have sex with men.
