![[AD] The many faces of our trip to @byronburgersuk 🍔
A few weeks ago, we went to #ByronBurgers to check out a few new items on their menu. It was my first time visiting (for some reason we don't have one in Brighton! Sort it out, folks!!), but let me tell you it won't be our last!
As well as their usual selection of monstrous beef burgers and crispy chicken strips, they now have a great selection of Vegetarian and Vegan options too: from Plant burgers to Vegan shakes! My personal favourites, however, were the sides. New to the menu is now a cheese-tastic selection of Halloumi fries, Mac and Cheese and cheesy fries. I was in cheese heaven. 🧀🙌
If that wasn't enough, though, we also got to try a rather interesting addition to their drinks menu; Pickle Beer. 🥒 Leaving the tasting to Sharon, she said that it was surprisingly sweet and light with a kick at the end; which I've heard is a good thing! It also went great with her burger as there were Herby "notes" 🤌. I'll have to trust her on that one, and just stick to the milkshakes with T, which you can clearly see were his highlight of our visit.
What do you think? Pickle Beer?](https://i0.wp.com/lesbemums.com/wp-content/uploads/sb-instagram-feed-images/279925471_735101224342082_8720260787922987063_n.webpfull.jpg?ssl=1)

![Go Lesbians! Go! ❤️🧡🤍💗💜
This week was Lesbian Visibility Week, therefore this is just a friendly reminder from your neighborhood dyke that there is no one way to be a #Lesbian.
Lesbians are incredibly intersectional, despite issues with Fetishisation from outside our community and Gatekeeping from within our community. We're not a monolith.
Whilst I came out when I was in my teens, the biggest hurdle I faced as a Lesbian was when I became a mother, and then later when exploring my Neurodiversity. This is because we're not seen, we're not celebrated, we're not often included (unless you look / talk / act a certain way!). This is just emphasised more if you're Trans, Fat, Disabled, a Person of Colour or All of the above!
Therefore, it's vitally important that when we're including #Lesbians (as well as other members of the #LGBTQ community!) in various spaces and conversations, we include all and challenge harmful stereotypes and assumptions.
Happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek, you wonderful folks! I see you, I hear you, and you are loved.
❤️🧡🤍💗💜
