We tell here our all-too-unusual story of living and working together, reflecting on both the obstacles and the forces that made it possible for us to find each other, stay together, and develop a collaborative working relationship. Despite experiencing various forms of discrimination, we have been able over the years to contribute to the creation of a queer community through hiring lesbian colleagues, attracting lesbian and gay students, participating in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender movement, and advocating social justice for women and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in our respective professional associations. This is the story of becoming the "professors of lesbian love," a title bestowed upon us by the drag queens we studied in our most recent joint project.
在此，我们讲述这段极不寻常的共同生活与工作经历，反思那些阻碍以及促使我们得以相遇、相守并建立合作工作关系的力量。尽管历经各种形式的歧视，但多年来，我们通过雇佣女同性恋同事、吸引男女同性恋学生、参与男女同性恋、双性恋及跨性别运动，以及在各自专业协会中为女性和男女同性恋、双性恋及跨性别者争取社会正义，为创建一个同性恋社群做出了贡献。这就是我们成为“女同性恋之爱的教授”的故事，这个头衔是我们在最近的联合项目中研究的变装皇后授予我们的。
