Lesbians took to Twitter to celebrate their identity.
Today is Lesbian Visibility Day.
The day presents an opportunity to celebrate, love, and raise the visibility of lesbians, who, as the LGBTQ organization GLAAD reports, are still underrepresented on broadcast television. Many also still fall victim to the "Bury Your Gays" trope.
In the face of this media landscape and a federal administration that is working toward LGBTQ erasure, many lesbians took to Twitter to embrace their identity. See just a sampling below.

\u201cSpending #LesbianVisibilityDay reading about theatrical & literary agent Elisabeth Marbury and interior designer Elsie de Wolfe - frequently deemed a Victorian lesbian power couple, which is a fantastic way to be remembered tbh. Here they both are at a ball in 1905.\u201d— Rosalind Jana (@Rosalind Jana) 1556275848
