Lesbians

Individuals who self-identify as lesbian and belong to lesbian communities. The term has been predominately used to describe women who are exclusively or primarily romantically and/or sexually attracted to other women. However, not all lesbians are women, and gender non-conforming people who belong to lesbian communities have often identified as lesbian.
