A '''bi lesbian''' is someone who is both [[bisexual]]/[[biromantic]]/etc. and a [[lesbian]].

This term can be used by women and non-binary people who use the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]] and are bisexual/biromantic/etc. and homo- (lesbian) or someone 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 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 person to person.

It can also be used by people who identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing attraction (such as [[Abrosexual|abrosexuality]]), or due being part of plural [[system]] (such as [[Pluric Attraction Model|having a different sexuality when fronting]], or being in a median system where you somewhat experience other headmates attractions.)

Additionally, the term can apply to women and other non-men who are bisexual and prioritize their attraction to women/non-men or have a strong preference for women/non-men, or for people who are reclaiming the historical definition of lesbian alongside identifying as bisexual.

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 people or people 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.
