All About Lesbians & the LGBTQ+ Community
What does the term “lesbian” mean?
The official Stonewall dictionary defines the term “lesbian” as a woman who experiences attraction for other women.[1]
Non-binary individuals (who identify outside of the traditional male/female gender binary) can also fall under this umbrella. Lesbian is one of the most common terms in the LGBTQ+ lexicon, along with:
- Gay: An umbrella term for people who experience attraction to individuals of the same gender identity. While this term is often associated with men specifically, it can apply to anyone who experiences attraction to the same gender.
- Bisexual: An individual who experiences attraction to the same gender as well as another gender identity (like a woman who’s attracted to both women and men).
- Transgender: An individual whose gender identity does not align with their assigned sex at birth.
-
Queer: A slang term to describe members of the LGBTQ+ community. This includes individuals who experience some variety of same-gender attraction and/or individuals whose gender identity doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth.
Do bisexual and lesbian mean the same thing?
No, the lesbian experience is distinctly different from the bisexual experience. Lesbians are exclusively attracted to women, while bisexual individuals are attracted to more than 1 gender identity. While a bisexual woman and a lesbian can absolutely date, there is no such thing as a “bi lesbian.”
What does the lesbian pride flag look like?
The current lesbian pride flag consists of 7 horizontal stripes in 7 different colors: red-orange, bright orange, light orange, white, fuchsia, light purple, and dark rose. According to the flag’s designer, each stripe carries a specific meaning related to the lesbian community:
- Red-orange: gender non-conformity
- Bright orange: independence
- Light orange: community
- White: special connection to womanhood
- Fuchsia: peace and tranquility
- Light purple: love and sex
- Dark rose: femininity
- Note: This iteration tends to be used and referenced more often than the older version of the lesbian flag, which features 7 stripes of different pinks, reds, and white (also known as the “lipstick lesbian” flag). Some community members felt that this flag’s overly feminine theme wasn’t inclusive of all lesbians; because of this, the orange and pink flag has since gained more popularity.
