The channel was founded by [^Phantom] on the 30th March 1998. The general idea is to give lesbians and bisexual women in Europe a place to meet and chat that is hosted by and run for European women. You will have found by now that IRC is generally dominated by people in America and Canada - if you're looking for something else - this is one of the alternatives!
For all you women out there, the additional bonus of #Lesbian_Europe is that you are in a safe, man-free channel. The majority of Channel Operators have met each other face to face and have, at the very least, spoken on the phone with me - we are all 100% female. Those of you who are concerned that newbie chatters in the channel may be male may relax as well - the Ops are well experienced with judging who is female and who isn't by the way people talk, greet and interact with other users in channel. Any chatters we are unsure about will be asked to voice verify by telephone with one of the Operators.
