Lesbian

Lesbian is a term that is used to describe a girl or woman that is attracted to other women for physical and or emotional reasons.

• Sometimes women will use it to describe their own sexual orientation but they may also use other terms such as dyke or gay to self identify.
• Some people find lesbian a difficult term to use as they don't like to be labelled but as a rule its the kind of official term that forms or monitoring documents would use.
• The term homosexual also applies to women as well as men.
