[[File:Sapphicflag.png|thumb|220x220px|The sapphic flag.]]A '''sapphic''' person (also known as '''Woman Loving Woman''' ('''WLW'''), '''LBPQ''' (Lesbian, [[Bisexual]], [[Pansexual]], [[Queer]]), and '''Difemina''') is a woman, or woman-aligned person who is attracted to other women or woman-aligned people. The label is used as a way to unify all women who love other women such as, [[Lesbian|lesbians]], [[bisexual]] women, [[pansexual]] women, etc, promoting solidarity among women of all identities. |

== Flag == |
|||
The sapphic flag has two pink stripes on the top and bottom, symbolizing love. In the center there is a violet, which was historically given between woman to symbolize their sapphic love. |
|||
The original sapphic flag had the same two pink stripes on the top and bottom representing women as the current flag. In the center was a realistic pair of violets, but this flag was too complicated for many, leading to the creation of the current flag. |
|||
== Etymology == |
|||
The word sapphic comes from the name of the Greek poet Sappho. The island she was born on, Lesbos, is where the word lesbian is derived from. |
