Lesbian women are individuals who identify as female and are romantically or sexually attracted to other women. This attraction can encompass emotional, physical, and romantic connections, forming the basis for relationships and communities among lesbian individuals. The term "lesbian" is often associated with a broader LGBTQ+ community, which includes various sexual orientations and gender identities. Lesbian women may participate in advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility, contributing to social movements that promote equality and acceptance for all sexual orientations, including LGBTQ+ rights and same-sex marriage.
