There’s a pretty cool hashtag trending on Twitter right now, all because it’s Lesbian Visibility Day.
It’s not a day that gets a lot of attention, or is even known by a lot of people. However, according to the internet, the day began in 2008. Like other visibility days, it’s simply meant as a day of celebration for women who identify as lesbians.
This year, it’s really taking off like never before with a trending hashtag and a whole lot of selfies.
The selfies are really the best part. It’s great to see people out, proud, and living their best lives.
Beautiful lesbians all across the internet

I have never been more proud to live as who I am – at a scary time for so many people the LGBT+ community makes me feel supported and safe every day. I’ve found my happiness 🏳️🌈#LesbianDayOfVisibility pic.twitter.com/KP8pQGgKkM

And trans lesbians, who are just as valid and worthy of celebration.

Others are talking about the news of the day, including Bill Cosby’s conviction and Janelle Monáe’s coming out.
It’s #lesbiandayofvisibility , Janelle Monae is all the way out as queer, and Bill Cosby is finally being held accountable. Today’s a pretty good day

Needless to say, it’s a good day.
#LGBTcuties #lesbianvisibilityday it took me 18 years to accept this label so please remember how important it is to normalize lesbianism. To butch lesbians, trans lesbians, disabled lesbians, lesbians of color, & asexual lesbians: I hear you, I stand with you. pic.twitter.com/Pusftbgvby
