WHAT DOES LESBIAN MEAN IN MALAY?

Lesbian

Lesbians refer to women whose sexual attraction is only to other women. Women who are attracted to both women and men are often referred to as bisexuals. The word lesbian comes from Lesbos, an island in Greece. Sappho, an old-fashioned poet living in Lesbos, is famous for his poems about love. Sappho wrote a love rhyme for women. That's why the name and the island where he lives is causing people to associate the island with women who love women. Sometimes lesbians are also called Sapphis in the name of Sappho.

Definition of lesbian in the Malay dictionary

lesbian women who have sexual attraction to their sexes, homosexual women.
