Bi lesbians

Bi-lesbian is a multioriented individual who uses both bi and lesbian labels.[1]

This term can be used by women and non-binary individuals who use the split attraction model and are bisexual/biromantic/etc. and homo- (lesbian), being varioriented/variangled, or an individual who experiences lesbian tertiary attraction.

They may find themselves sexually attracted to men, but could never picture themselves in a relationship with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though this varies from an individual to an individual.
