Why is the site called "lemonkind"?
We didn't want to use the word "lesbian" in the title as spam filters and firewalls might block the site and our e-newsletter, assuming we offer porn for men.
Society acknowledges humankind, mankind and womankind so why not lemonkind?
"Lemon" is a term often used for lesbian. It's also used to refer to dud cars and sour people.
Why lesbians were dubbed "lemons" is a mystery - perhaps it's because we're so fresh, juicy and zesty.
Whatever the meaning, we're reclaiming it as our own along with other terms (such as dyke, queer and lezzo) formerly used to put us down.
Be proud of your lemon essence.
