Today we focus on young queer and lesbian women who are creating alternative communities on both rural and urban land. First we talk to Claire Ryan about her experience living on Outland, which is 1,000 acres of women’s land in New Mexico founded over 30 years ago by Jae Haggard, editor of Maize, the lesbian country magazine and communication hub for women living or interested in living on Land, and her partner at the time, Lee.
