LES is an online digital journal which aims to promote studies and scientific research as well as intervention projects and opinion pieces related to different aspects of lesbian issues. This journal pretends to contribute to the study of lesbian issues and to promote actions that improve lesbian equal opportunities and civil rights.
The first issue Vol. 1, No 1 (2009) tries to answer the question:
Lesbian issues are often addressed within the framework of feminist or LGBT issues. Are there specific aspects relating lesbian issues that are not visible when using a feminist or LGBT frameworks that justify a specific approach?
