A lesbian is a homosexual woman.
- Lesbianism is not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in contrast to male homosexual behavior, which is expressly forbidden as a capital crime. The absence of discussion of lesbianism in this context has raised scholarly interest.
- Lesbianism is the ultimate expression of a feminist philosophy.
- For a woman to be a lesbian in a male-supremacist, capitalist, misogynist, racist, homophobic, imperialist culture, such at that of North America, is an act of resistance.
- There is, for me, no difference between writing a good poem and moving into sunlight against the body of a woman I love.
