  • Lesbian Visibility Day : Every year on 26 April ; it celebrates and highlights lesbians and their experiences and contributions worldwide.
  • International Lesbian Day : Commonly observed on 13 October , especially in Australia and New Zealand, originating from lesbian community events and marches in the 1980s–1990s.

How people use “lesbian day”
