Hello Girls,
Welcome to another Week in our favourite city. And judging from the upcoming events, its going to be a good week ahead.
First of all, if you like this group, and you like www.capetownlesbians.co.za please show your support by becoming a fan of www.capetownlesbians.co.za on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/wwwcapetownlesbianscoza/229574875113?ref=share
And we need your help on one of the events. We're trying to determine how many of you would support a lesbian pajama party. Personally, I'd love it. And I think it could be a lot of fun. But I need all of you to give your input. Please go vote on the poll that I put up on www.capetownlesbians.co.za
If you know of any upcoming events, please drop me an e-mail with the info. And remeber that I'm still looking for girls to write articles. So if you've got something that you think needs to be said, please make your contribution. I'm also looking for you talented girls out there to send me your art, literature and photography for the CTL Art & Literature section - http://www.capetownlesbians.co.za/artandliterature.html

Cape Town Lesbians Features This Week:
Responding vs Reacting
There come a time in a new relationship when you have your first altercation. Do you respond or react?
http://www.capetownlesbians.co.za/article-archive/dating/135-responding-vs-reacting.html
Homosexuality & Religion
Structured religion is man-made and thus has rules and restrictions put on us by man. They can argue all they like that their preferred book of scripture is of divine inspiration, but in the end it is all still managed, edited, controlled and inevitably manipulated by man. And as we all well know, man is fallible.
