Lipstick lesbians are like femmes, except they only like other 'feminine' lesbians and not 'butch' lesbians.


That the simple explanation I think, anyway. Not every lesbian fits into those labels, obviously.What's the difference between a femme and lipstick lesbian?

My understanding has been that femmes are really feminine lesbians, whom people often say ';look straight,'; who like ';butches.'; Lipstick lesbians are the same, except they like femmes.
