The Fairies were led by a Queen, and they also had such a thing as a King, but the Queen was the ruler with the real power and she was never permanently partnered with just one man. The Fairies had no institution of marriage people of both genders were free to have sex with multiple partners, and when babies were born, no one cared about trying to establish who was the father - all the men were happy to speculate that they might be, and to share the child among them. Judy Grahn says that once upon a time, back before the pale-skinned Celtic tribes arrived there, the British Isles were inhabited by a darker-skinned pagan tribal culture known as the Brownies or, alternately, the Fairies. So I wanted to conduct a little of my own research in this entry. But then again, it's hard to tell for sure sometimes without personally reading the sources she claims to have found for her information. The book is written in a very feel-good, "Look, it's okay to be gay and I'm going to prove it to you by telling you that purple and pinky rings and the word 'bulldyke' and a thousand other familiar aspects of gayness as you know it actually date back to thousands of years B.C.!" kind of tone, and it often feels to me like she's more interested in finding faintly plausible stories that make people feel good than in actually verifying whether they are true. It contains a lot of interesting material, but I also find myself continually frustrated by the lack of greater supporting evidence for the theories Judy Grahn comes up with about the supposedly ancient historical development of various modern queer traditions. 6, No.I've been reading the book Another Mother Tongue: Gay Words, Gay Worlds by Judy Grahn.
