This chapter expands on the Lesbian Visibility Hierarchy introduced in Chapter 3 by examining how dominant boyish lesbian performances are not only normalised but also granted situational privilege in Manchester’s Gay Village. While embodying “lesbian capital” through fashion and style may offer lesbian visibility, it is not always sufficient to safely or easily navigate LGBTQ+ spaces. Visibility is shaped by the intersection of multiple identities, including race, age, gender expression and ability, which determine how lesbians are perceived and treated in this social setting. This chapter explores how intersecting identities result in varying experiences of oppression and privilege. To theorise these dynamics, Chapter 4 introduces homopatriarchy: a socio-cultural power structure that centres gay male dominance while also extending certain privileges to boyish lesbian archetypes. Drawing on participant narratives, the chapter examines how homopatriarchy is part of everyday governance of the Village, particularly through the role of door staff and the spatial layout of Village venues. It then explores how lesbians can strategically navigate these structures by sometimes working within them to gain situational feelings of belonging and visibility. These practices demonstrate a way that power operates within LGBTQ+ nightlife and how lesbian visibility and belonging are continuously negotiated within homopatriarchal space.
