Lesbian women have never been on the margins of LGBTQ+ history. They helped build it. From the earliest days of modern queer activism, lesbian women brought feminist perspectives, challenged sexism inside and outside the community, and helped create spaces of dialogue, resistance, and care. Their presence has always been foundational. And yet, even with this history, many lesbian women still experience a quieter kind of invisibility in everyday queer spaces — not erased, but sometimes overlooked, not excluded, but not always centered.
