The 2015 Belgrade Lesbian March represented the culmination point of the fragile but resilient lesbian separatist thread that has been developing in the (post-)Yugoslav space over the last decades. In this paper I draw upon a variety of empirical sources to reconstruct that gathering and contextualise it both in the history of Yugoslav feminist/lesbian organising as well as in the broader, Anglo-American history of lesbian (and GBT) activist mobilisations. I use the controversies that the March provoked within the activist ‘community’ to engage with the broader issues around reifications of the gender binary in the wake of Yugoslav socialism.
