We ❤️ our lesbian community, Friend!

Since 2008, Lesbian Visibility Day is celebrated annually on April 26. It’s an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions and vibrancy of the lesbian community. At The Trevor Project, we love our lesbian community, and want every young lesbian individual to know that this is a safe place for them.

We’re amplifying the work of Gray Muranaga (they/them), Training Coordinator at The Trevor Project and visual artist. Gray shared some insights into their art practice, the intersections of their identities, and what lesbian visibility means to them:

“To me, it means representation of lesbians from all walks of life. Trans lesbians, disabled lesbians, neurodivergent lesbians, lesbians of color, asexual lesbians, aromantic lesbians, kinky lesbians, and more! When I was younger, I didn't feel like I had the ‘right’ to claim lesbian as a label for myself. It took getting older and meeting other butch, genderqueer lesbians for me to be like, ‘If they can identify as a lesbian, that means I can too!’”
