If you're like most people, you're either a lesbian or you wish you were one. Whether or not that applies to you, nearly everyone wears shirts! And lesbians are not exception. A lesbian is a woman who is romantically and sexually attracted only to other women. The earliest known written references to same-sex love between women come from ancient Greece. Sappho (the eponym of 'sapphism'), who lived on the island of Lesbos (that's right the legends are true), wrote poems which expressed her sexual attraction to other women. In Western societies, explicit prohibitions on women's homosexual behavior have been markedly weaker than those on men's homosexual behavior. Cuz its hot.
