This week we celebrate lesbian visibility, which honestly means a lot to me. It’s about having the courage to show up as yourself, even when it’s scary. Even when you’re still figuring it out.

I’m so grateful for the lesbians who came before us and fought for the space we have now. They made it possible for me to live more openly than I could have otherwise. And I know there are still so many of us finding our way, questioning, coming out, or just trying to exist without explanation.

To anyone reading this who’s still in that process…your timeline is your own. Your love is valid. You’re valid. And honestly, finding community with other lesbians has been one of the most healing things for me. Having people who just get it without you having to explain everything.

I think visibility week belongs to all of us: the ones living openly, the ones still private, the ones still figuring themselves out. We all deserve space and acceptance.
