20,000 lesbians in the desert: welcome to the Dinah, a world without men

For five days in Palm Springs, Arwa Mahdawi entered an alternate reality where gay women celebrate each other with pool parties, dancing and debauchery

Every year at the end of March, 20,000 lesbians from around the world fly into the Californian desert for five days of debauchery, and I’m one of them. It’s my second time at the Dinah, also known as the largest girl festival in the world. I’m staying at the Hilton in Palm Springs, which is hosting the famous Dinah pool parties, and the hotel feels like a homosexual harem.

It’s a surreal experience: for a few days the world is turned upside down, the minority is suddenly the majority. Everywhere you look, lesbians are smiling, drinking, dancing, kissing. There are a few men around – staff working the event and guys who have been dragged along by lesbian friends – but they are hard to spot. It’s basically entirely queer women in attendance.

The party is named after the Dinah Shore golf tournament, started in 1972 by the eponymous entertainer. Dinah Shore wasn’t a lesbian (she’d be doing somersaults in her grave if she knew what her moniker was attached to now), but golf seems to attract a lot of lesbians. A sapphic scene sprouted up around t

Babies with two fathers or two mothers could become a reality after a breakthrough by researchers at Cambridge. They have shown that it is possible to make human egg and sperm cells using skin from two adults of the same sex. The development could help men and women who have become infertile through disease or gay couples to have children. But critics voiced concern, arguing that the breakthrough brings closer the prospect of ‘designer babies’, in which the looks, character and health attributes of children would be selected by parents.

The scientists from Cambridge University and the Weizmann Institute in Israel used skin from five adults to artificially create ‘germ’ cells, or stem cells, which make sperm and eggs in the body. The academics say the cells could also be used as a ‘repair kit’ to heal tissue in any part of the body.

Jacob Hanna, the specialist leading the project’s Israeli arm, said the technique could be used to create a baby just two years from now. However, he conceded that ethical implications needed to be considered carefully. ‘I am not in favour of creating engineered humans ... but I am very confident it will work and will be very relevant to anyone who has lost their fertility through disease.’

He added: ‘It has already caused interest from gay groups because of the possibility of making egg and sperm cells from parents of the same sex.’ The scientists’ findings, published in the journal Cell, show that a gene called SOX17 is critical in the process of reprogramming human cells. Professor Azim Surani, of Cambridge University, told The Sunday Times: ‘We have succeeded in the first and most important step of this process, which is to show we can make these very early human stem cells in a dish.’ We have also discovered that one of the things that happens in these germ cells is that epigenetic mutations, the cell mistakes that occur with age, are wiped out. That means the cell is regenerated and reset, so while the rest of the cells in the body have aged and contain genetic mistakes, these ones don’t.

‘We can’t say no mutations are passed on, but mostly it doesn’t happen.’ The use of manufactured sperm and egg cells would require a change in the law. Allan Pacey, an infertility expert and professor at Sheffield University, said he was excited by the idea of the technology being used to make sperm for the thousands of men who have been left infertile after childhood cancer. But David King, director of Human Genetics Alert, a secular organisation critical of the progress in fertility science, said he was concerned that scientists might view the development as a ‘convenient route’ to creating genetically engineered babies. It comes as the House of Lords is this week set to approve the use of mitochondrial transfer or ‘three-parent baby’ technology. It is designed to prevent devastating diseases caused by faults in mitochondria, which power cells, by swapping them with healthy ones from an egg donor. This will mean children are born with DNA from two women and a man.

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?

I see a whole lot of the words "could" and "maybe."

Scientists have used the same exact technique to create full grown mice more than 10 years ago.

It’s only a matter of time until it is perfected and made legal for humans. At least in some countries.

...and be perfect zero-rejection organ donors.

Sperm grown fron stem cells. Male no longer needed to provide sperm, just an egg and some stem cells from a donor/partner.

Sperm grown fron stem cells.

That is not yet a viable solution, at least not widespread enough to sustain a population.

And don't make me think of the Frankenstein freaks that will result from such unethical abominations.

I remember when Penn State had Cunt Fest, it was promoted by Spanier and it was very sickening!

After about 7 days half of them will be at the hospital for treatment of the claw and fang marks.

A big irony of this is that, while San Francisco and its sodomites could be to a great extent wiped out by the San Andreas fault, there is an even older, possibly more powerful fault that is perpendicular to San Andreas, and runs right under Palm Springs.

So Sodom and Gomorrah II.

20000 lesbians: How many unopened jars will be found on that spot in 500 years?


I’m glad I wasn’t drinking coffee when I read that. You made my day.

Isn't that precious. Enjoy yourselves, girls.

I was just thinking - This is something that Howard Stern and Jerry Springer fans need to know about, because for some reason, they really seem fixated on lesbians.

I imagine that there are thousands of pimply faced basement dwellers who might want to make an annual pilgrimage to this event, just to gawk at the lezzies makin' whoopee.

Hey, book your rooms early, boys, everybody has a right to have fun.

20,000 in about 90 years will be 0

Are lesbians going to somehow magically disappear?

Yes, as far as the ones in the article if they truly live in a world without men, unless they can suddenly reproduce asexually.

“It’s never like in the movies. Or so I’m told.”

Actually have personally seen examples where it is like in the movies. And looks like there are plenty “not guilty” females at this event
