About LesbianTypes

LesbianTypes is a free guide to the words, styles and culture of women who love women. We started it because the internet had plenty of ten question quizzes and very few places that explained lesbian labels with care.

What we believe

• Labels are tools, not boxes. Use the ones that help, ignore the rest, change your mind whenever you like.
• Everyone sapphic is welcome. Lesbians, bi and pan women, queer women, trans women, nonbinary people. No gatekeeping here.
• Privacy by default. Our quizzes run in your browser. We do not store your answers and you never need an account.
• Accuracy matters. We check history and definitions carefully, and we credit communities when a term belongs to them.

Who makes it

LesbianTypes is made by a small team at Carakel, a studio that builds apps and sites for queer communities. We are also working on a new app made just for sapphic women. You can join the early list.
