@samueltyler2 language evolves. They're used interchangeably. The meaning still gets across

No, "gay" and "lesbian" are not the same, though they both refer to same-sex attraction. "Gay" is a broader term for people attracted to the same gender and can refer to anyone, while "lesbian" is a specific term for women who are attracted to other women.
Here's a breakdown:
Gay: This term can be used to describe any person (male or female) whose romantic, physical, or emotional attraction is to people of the same sex.
Lesbian: This term specifically refers to a woman who is attracted to other women.
Why the distinction?
Specificity: While a lesbian woman is a gay woman, the term "lesbian" offers a more specific identity that has its own cultural and historical context.
Cultural Usage: "Lesbian" has a longer history of use for homosexual women, and it is often the preferred term within the community.
Broader Context: The term "gay" is sometimes used as an umbrella term for people who are attracted to the same sex, but it is also most commonly used to refer to gay men.
