How do I know if I’m a lesbian? Do I show any signs?

The discovery of one’s sexual orientation involves a lot of self-exploration.
However, our favorite lesbian couple Jenni Chang and Lisa Dazols did something truly inspiring. They set off on a mission to travel the world to look for the people, whom they termed as “Supergays.”
Their mission is to show people the real Supergays who fought against extreme social, political, and cultural oppression for the rights of gay people.
In a two-minute trailer, the couple shared their search for Supergays around the world. Their goal is to build a global community of LGBT people and allies through this film.

Human rights are not limited to the elderly, patients, or racists it also applies to the LGBT community.

Keeping this in mind, let’s explore some of the signs lesbians exhibits:
Although there is no proven way to determine if you are a lesbian, exhibiting any three of these traits may be a clue. A further investigation is certainly worth doing.

You’re thinking about your female best friend when you’re on a date with a guy:

Even if a guy looks good, you don’t necessarily want to be close to him. It is the most obvious indicator of lesbianism. You’re out with a guy, and you are thinking about how eager you are to reach out to your best friend, not to tell her about your date, but to find out how her day has been. Or maybe even to arrange a meeting soon. You could be lez.

You’re attracted to women more than the movie:

While watching movies, you will find yourself more drawn to a pretty woman than a handsome man. You can’t help but admire her beauty, and you keep watching the movie over and over just so that you can catch the scene where the camera focuses on her slightly parted lips, tempting you to kiss them.

You see all over women:

Generally, when you’re out and about, it’s the women that catch your eye first, and then you realize there are men nearby, too. It’s something that comes naturally to you. The instinct speaks for itself.

The majority of your friends are female:

You gravitate towards girls and women more often when you’re looking for friends, making conversation, getting support, or having fun. Your closest friends are likely all women, barring a few gay or sensitive men.

Confused about your sexual orientation:

Asking yourself if something is possible can sometimes reveal the answer that lies deep within. If you find yourself searching for things like “How can I tell if I am a lesbian?” or “Do I seem lesbian?”, you probably are or just hoping to be reassured. Because when people are not attracted to the same sex, they do not tend to wonder whether or not they are gay.

More enamored with her:

Although it may seem strange, most women use their sexuality as fluid, and experimenting with women does not necessarily imply being a lesbian. It may just be curiosity. Let’s say you had a relationship with a woman you enjoyed. Since everything is over, you have no idea if it was a fluke or if you’ll always be a lesbian. But if you have experienced sexual relations with women for a prolonged time, it may indicate that you are a lesbian.

You enjoy lesbian love stories:

Reading lesbian love stories or watching lesbian romance movies give you tingly feelings. Whenever a lesbian couple kisses for the very first time on screen or in a novel, you get an overwhelming rush of emotion. Our subconscious often influences our perception, so it is best to trust what you are feeling. It gives you a sense of happiness and relief to imagine yourself in a similar situation. You share the longing of the heroines in romance novels.

You like kissing girls:

There is no need to kiss or engage in romance with someone to know if you are a lesbian. There are times when even straight women fantasize about having relationships with women. It might be because they’re curious, bi-, or inquisitive. In any case, if you’ve done it, and if you enjoyed it, chances are you’re a lesbian. The best sign to look for is if you feel like doing more than just kissing.

More comfortable in a lesbian environment:

Generally, if you’re comfortable surrounded by other lesbians and you’re able to be yourself without being judged, then you might be gay. While straight women do go to gay bars occasionally, it’s not a regular occurrence. There is a good chance that you are a lesbo if you always prefer lez bars during your walks out.

I believe you shouldn’t put yourself in one category too quickly. Rather than forcing yourself into a mold, embrace who you are. The fun of discovering yourself lies in experimenting, and being confident in who you are is probably more valuable than labels. Just be yourself and don’t force the issue of your sexuality to play any significant role in your life. Check out my blog to learn how you can be your true self as an LGBTQ person.
