Lesbians are women who are romantically and sexually attracted to other women. This attraction can encompass emotional, physical, and social connections. The term is often used to describe a sexual orientation, which is a part of a person's identity. In many cultures, lesbians have historically faced discrimination and stigma. However, there has been increasing visibility and acceptance in recent years, with movements advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, including same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws. This progress has helped create a more inclusive society for individuals identifying as lesbians.
