Article editing

CarlyBurks, I reverted here because you removed "or other non-heterosexual woman" and other material without explanation, and added some unsourced material. As stated on the article's talk page, a lesbian relationship may include women who identify as bisexual or don't identify as lesbian or bisexual. If it's a romantic and/or sexual relationship between teenage girls or women, it's usually called a lesbian relationship, regardless of sexual identity. This is similar to how if it's a romantic and/or sexual relationship between teenage boys or men, it's usually called a gay male relationship or a gay relationship. That is, if the couples are not termed "same-sex relationships" or "homosexual relationships" instead. As you may also know, the terms women who have sex with women and men who have sex with men exist. In addition to referring to a homosexual woman, lesbian, like the Lesbian article currently states, "is also used for women in terms of their sexual identity or sexual behavior regardless of sexual orientation, or as an adjective to characterize or associate nouns with female homosexuality or same-sex attraction" And, yes, that is sourced. Lesbian is the standard term for same-sex romantic/sexual attraction between human females. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:20, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
