Lipstick lesbian

For people who check facts
A lipstick lesbian is a traditionally feminine homosexual woman. It is a slang term for a femme lesbian.

In American films, the lipstick lesbian stereotype portrays lesbians in a feminine way, to be both politically safer and also more sexually attractive to male viewers.

It can also mean a person who isn't actually lesbian but acts like it.

The pun chapstick lesbian has recently emerged to mean a lesbian woman who does not wear make-up and follow the stereotypes of female beauty and style.
