Knight/Princess Lesbians

"My definition of butch involves chivalry. I want to be courageous, gallant, to show the highest respect for a woman. I think of an idealized knighthood, where such characteristics are valued and groomed. I would protect my lover from an enemy, risk physical harm." A Beautiful Creature by Karleen Pendleton Jiménez, in Persistence: Still butch and femme (p. 46)
