The Society for the Preservation of Sapphic Social Mores (also known as SPPSSM)’s mission is to edify the Sapphic and LGBTTSQQAI community on contemporary etiquette conundrums, eliminating such errors as pairing sandals with socks, unending break-ups, and mis-pronoun-ing last night’s hook up. Founders and Directors Phyllis Troubridge and Beatrice Llwelleyn have been schooling queers on good manners and social graces since 2008 on tour and in Boston with The Femme Show as well as at PortFringe (Portland, ME) MondoHomo (Atlanta); Dixon Place (NYC), Paint the Town (la) Red (Boston); and the 2012 Femme Conference (Baltimore).  

They use use humor and parody to skewer contemporary queer social norms, pointing out misogyny, prejudice, and poor sartorial choices while paying tribute to their femme forebears.

SPPSSM is available to speak to your sewing circles, gardening clubs, historical societies, religious institutions, and youth groups about the importance of sapphic etiquette.
