In addition, Eunice served as a volunteer for the LGBTQ+ organizations that evolved into Equality Florida and Metro Wellness & Community Centers. Eunice has testified on behalf of the community before county commissions and city governments and written a book about being a lesbian and a Christian. A talented artist noted for her pet portraits, Eunice was a Hillsborough County librarian and is currently a resident of St. Petersburg

About the Movie: While waiting for her divorce papers, a repressed professor of literature is unexpectedly seduced by a carefree, spirited young lesbian.

“My memory of “Desert Hearts” isn’t so much about plot as about feelings. I believe it’s the first movie I saw which convincingly portrayed lesbians in love. That movie — the feelings it evoked — stayed with me long after I forgot details of plot and character. I don’t know if I would have the same response if I saw it again today (more than 35 years after its release), but I’d like to find out!” — Eunice Fisher
