Experts estimate than about one out of 10 people may be lesbian or gay, and many historically famous women were lesbians. Lesbians include teachers, doctors, lawyers, factory workers, police officers, politicians, ministers, movie stars, artists, mothers, nuns, truck drivers, models, and novelists. Lesbians are white, black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American. They may be Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, or Buddhist. Lesbians may be rich, poor, working class, or middle class, young or old.
Some lesbians are in heterosexual marriages.
Some lesbians are disabled. In the third grade, I didn't even know what a lesbian was. It didn't dawn on me until the seventh grade that hey, I'm a lesbian. Well, knowing was never the question. I started being attracted to girls at age seven, so I knew that I wasn't straight.
