Lincoln Legion of Lesbians (LLL) was a lesbian feminist collective in Lincoln, Nebraska, that sought to destigmatize lesbianism and build lesbian community. The collective sponsored community events open exclusively to women and girls, advocating feminist separatism.
The collective is notable for initiating the first attempt to outlaw anti-gay discrimination in Nebraska in 1980. A fierce local backlash to this attempt expanded into a nationwide strategy of anti-LGBT rhetoric using pseudoscientific arguments.
