I wish the word sapphic were normalized because I relate heavily to the lesbian community, but I’m not lesbian

Sapphic is literally more normalized than lesbian.

Maybe it’s regional, because I feel like in my area sapphic is definitely not widely known outside of the queer community

Yeahh maybe in large cities? But I feel like it’s only somewhat normalized online

Lesbian is seen as a bad word in alot of queer spaces compared to sapphic. I constantly see people refer to lesbian events and bars as “sapphic” bars which is bs.

This isn’t about trying to call strictly lesbian things sapphic, which is bad, I just want more sapphic community and events etc because I’m bi, it’s a term that people usually only know about online
