Best Answer

A lesbian is a girl or a woman who is sexually and/or romantically attracted to the same sex, namely to other girls or women. A lesbian is sometimes called a gay woman, or a homosexual woman, but the word lesbian is usually preferred.

The name comes from the Greek island of Lesbos, where the female poet Sappho lived around 600 BC and wrote homo-erotic poetry.

Estimates are that between 5% and 10% of the female population of the world is lesbian. However, there are also an unspecified number of women who could be classified as "lesbian" although they self-identify as "bisexual".

A Lesbian is a homosexual woman. She falls in love and is sexually attracted to other women. The word Lesbian comes from the island of Lesbos. This is from wiki and you can read more about it on the Lesbian wiki page:

The word "lesbian" is derived from the name of the Greek island of Lesbos, home to the 6th-century BCE poet Sappho.[1] From various ancient writings, historians have gathered that a group of young women were left in Sappho's charge for their instruction or cultural edification.[3] Not much of Sappho's poetry remains, but that which does reflects the topics she wrote about: women's daily lives, their relationships, and rituals. She focused on the beauty of women and proclaimed her love for girls.[4] Before the late 19th century, the word "Lesbian" referred to any derivative or aspect of Lesbos, including a type of wine.[note 1]
