The Ultimate Sapphic Masterlist of 2020 - All these books have moments in the text where it is shown a character is WLW, however, some characters use a specific label (i.e., lesbian, bi, pan) to identify themselves. Others use the term "sapphic" to describe themselves or their relationship(s).

The first thing you should do as an ally to sapphic people is to believe them when they tell you about their identity. Don’t try to argue them out of it or make the mistake of thinking you could know more about how they feel than they do. It could also help if you worked on your mindset.

Alcaeus of Mytilene composed in, and may have invented, the Sapphic stanza, [1] but it is his contemporary and compatriot Sappho whose example exerted the greatest influence, and for whom the verseform is now named. Both lived around 600 BCE on the island of Lesbos and wrote in the Aeolic dialect of Greek. The word sapphic comes from the name of the Greek poet Sappho. The island she was born on, Lesbos, is where the word lesbian is derived from.

However, after her promotion to chief, she had to turn Lucy down due to the fact that she didn't want to encourage favoritism. Despite this, Kerry stayed on good terms with her as was everyone else in the ER. In Season 3, Kerry is promoted to be an ER Attending alongside Mark Greene. This was the beginning of a long friendly rivalry between the two over several positions within the ER. Also, during this time, Mark discovered that Jeanie Boulet, a Physician's Assistant, was HIV-positive. Kerry was the first to defend Jeanie and fought Mark so that she could keep her job. Later, Dr. Donald Anspaugh, the Hospital Chief of Staff, let Jeanie keep her job with measures of precaution put in place.

To avoid over-exposing the character of Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards), the producers and writers decided to add a second authority figure to take the weight off of that character. However, where Greene was seen as the friendly boss that everyone got along with, they wanted a boss that was far more by the book and antagonistic. A few centuries later, the Roman poet Catullus admired Sappho's work and used the Sapphic stanza in two poems: Catullus 11 (commemorating the end of his affair with Clodia) and Catullus 51 (marking its beginning).

Greene’s parting words to Kerry are a warning to avoid letting work become her life, and following his death, she appears to have taken this advice to heart. She goes public with her relationship with Sandy Lopez in " The Letter", as she and her colleagues are informally memorializing Greene. In season 9, she confesses to Susan Lewis that she is undergoing IVF and, later, becomes pregnant as a result. However, Kerry suffers a miscarriage, and despite her partner Sandy’s initial objections to carrying a child, Sandy becomes pregnant. Their son, Henry, is born in season 10. Sandy dies later that same season, leaving Kerry bereft and forced to fight Sandy’s family for custody of their son. A few episodes later, Kerry finally accepts her lifestyle and makes up to Sandy. They start a new relationship and even make ER-social appearances.

Later, it was revealed that Lawrence was in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. After Mark staged a fake scene with a fake patient, he was forced to accept his disease and he retired after saving one last patient. Kerry was very shaken to see her role model leave all that he had ever loved. She attempted to convince him to fight the disease with clinical trials but Lawrence expressed his wishes not to be bed ridden for the rest of his life prior to leaving. Two sapphic flags have two pink stripes on the top and bottom, symbolizing love, with a lavender center stripe. The center of the lavender stripe depicts a flower. In one version, a pair of violets in the center symbolizes love between two women; [10] the second version has a single simplified violet instead.
