Gay is a homosexual attraction right, between men or women, so why is 'lesbian' even a thing?

As far as I'm aware, the feminism movement was still a massive thing when the gay rights movement began. As a consequence, gay women didn't want to associate with gay men and coined their original term.

That's just my partial understanding though.

They are though, people just don't realize it because there's word for female gays.

They are. Lesbian is the more common word for same-sex attraction between women, though.

The Jessie J gif I really don't know though. I would like to know

They are.

Gay is for either males or females.

They are, people just don't use that word to describe them often.

They are?

So why are gays not lesbians? We need some Malenism y'all.

Gay can be used to describe both men and women, but lesbian is exclusive for women. I guess they need their special snowflake moment.

gay usually means men, lesbian means women.
