WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ABSOLUTELY LESBIAN. Here, we live by the only human rule I've discovered to be true: any woman who has ever felt attracted to another woman is, in that moment, a lesbian. For some it last 30 seconds. For me, that moment has blossomed into over 30 years of lesbian life.
The name 'Absolutely Lesbian' is a playful nod to Absolut Vodka, distilled just an hour from my home. It's also a genuine attempt to embrace life as it is. The only thing I know for sure is that in this moment, I am absolutely a lesbian. What the next holds is a blank script.
I'm Gry Ellebjerg, a Swedish journalist, artist, and photographer. I'm traveling across Europe, exploring lesbian life and sharing stories from the Pink Road.
I want to create a space for unpolished voices and experiences from all walks of life. Feel welcome to roam around in this lesbian odyssey! I would love to hear from you. Let's go!

AN EVENING AT THE OLDEST LESBIAN BAR IN EUROPE One by one, the lesbian bars in Europe are shutting down. La Gata in Frankfurt is one of the few left. When you enter the place, it's like walking onto a movie set. The 1970s hits you with all it's got: brown wood paneling and faded pictures of naked ladies. I came to Frankfurt for one thing—to experience one evening at this classic bar. It was like eating a slice of history with a spoon. Read the Story →
BERLIN’S SECRET TWIN There are two lesbian pilgrimage sites in Europe: Berlin and the small village of Skala Eressos on Lesbos. The latter is the birthplace of Sappho, and in the '80s, lesbians adopted the place. You might argue that lesbians have done the same with Berlin. They have very different vibes, but if you ask me, I think they both need each other desperately. This is an exploration of why.

KILL YOUR DARLINGS IN BERLIN At a film festival in Copenhagen, I met the artist Peaches. I asked her the same question I ask everyone I meet. "Do you know where the lesbians are?" "Möbel Olfe in Berlin on a Tuesday night," she said. "You will find them there." I went to have the experience. It was my lesbian Christmas Eve and everything else I could have imagined. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder if I had come too late to the party.
