I don't hate the word lesbian but sapphic just sound much prettier atleast to me.I wish people used the term more not just because it sounds beautiful but because it would be more useful as not every wlw is a lesbian

i love sapphic cause it includes all wlw including bi girls plus it just sounds cuter 🥺

I think gay and bi kinda covers it for most people. Of course go with whatever suits you best, but we've already got lots of labels so introducing more might just add confusion for a lot of people. I agree it's a cool term tho.

They both sound cool to me. And they both originate from the same person - Sappho of Lesbos.

Both the terms and the flag are way cooler than for any other LGBT+ identity

Not sure about sounding, but yes the L flag is the coolest <3
