Today is Lesbian Visibility Day and girls across the world have been showing their pride on social media.

It’s not completely obvious when the internet first celebrated it, but LVD has been happening each year for around a decade.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies of cancer aged 87

Women across the world posted pictures of their girlfriends, partners and wives.

And plenty of single lesbian ladies shared strong selfies celebrating their sexuality.


Women of all sizes, ages and races celebrated the day.

But some used today to post messages, reminding others that not all lesbians are free to express their sexuality.

It’s important to remember some women still face punishment, persecution and even death for being open about who they love.



And others chose to share photographs of memorable demonstrations, where women fought for their rights.
