Line 3:
A '''bi lesbian''' is an individual who is both [[bisexual]]/[[biromantic]]/etc. and a [[lesbian]].
This term can be used by [[women]] and [[non-binary]] individuals who use the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]] and are bisexual/biromantic/etc. and [[homo]]- (lesbian) or an individual who experiences lesbian [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]]. They have one form of [[attraction]] to two or more [[genders]] but are only attracted to women via another form of attraction. They may find themselves [[Sexual attraction|sexually attracted]] to [[men]], but could never picture themselves in a relationship with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though this varies from an individual to an individual.
It can also be used by individuals who identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing attraction (such as [[Abrosexual|abrosexuality]]), or due being part of a [[plural:System|plural system]], such as [[Pluric Attraction Model|having a different sexuality when fronting]], or being in a median system where one member somewhat experiences their [[plural:Headmate|headmate(s)]]' attraction(s).
Line 11:
Other reasons may include:
* Being [[duosexual]] or otherwise [[amplusic]]
▲• Being mspec, but not being attracted to men, so you still use the "non-men attracted to non-men" definition while still being bi, pan, etc.
▲• Attraction to multigender people, causing one to consider their attraction to both lesbian and mspec simultaneously
▲• being in a System with bisexual and lesbian members
* Being primarily or predominantly lesbian ([[lesbiflexible]])
▲• Lesbian who is attracted to nonbinary people who aren't comfortable being included in lesbian attraction, so they fall under the "bi" part instead
▲• Lesbian who's dating a trans person who came out while they were dating and no longer wants to be included in lesbian attraction, but they're still attracted to them, so they modified their orientation label accordingly to accommodate their partner
▲• Nonbinary person with lesbian as their gender but isn't necessarily lesbian in orientation
▲• being attracted to non lesbian Non-Binary Individuals
▲• using lesbian as an umbrella term

There are currently two flags used by the bi-romantic lesbian community. The original flag is the lesbian flag with a heart showing the bisexual colors layered on top.[[File:Original Bi-Romantic Lesbian flag.png|220x220px|The original biromantic lesbian flag.|alt=|thumb|link=https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/File:Original_Bi-Romantic_Lesbian_flag.png]]The second flag was created by Instagram user Sapphic.violets_with.tea in 2020 after she found the first flag less attractive and wanted something to identify with more. The colors of the second flag are used to represent different genders. Red and pink representing women, White to represent Non-Binary individuals or individuals who do not identify with either male or female, and blue representing men. The imbalance of red is to show more attraction to women, however the blue and white is still there to show romantic attraction to more than one gender.
