A lesbian is a woman whom is attracted to another woman. It's a label put on love.

But you should look a how the word originated

The word lesbian derives from the name of the Greek Island of Lesbos which was the birthplace of the female poet Sappho.

Sappho's poetry centers around passion and love for various personages and genders. The narrators of many of her poems speak of infatuations and love (sometimes requited, sometimes not) for various women,

The word, gay, started to acquire sexual connotations in the late 17th century, being used with meaning "addicted to pleasures and dissipations". This was by extension from the primary meaning of "carefree": implying "uninhibited by moral constraints". By the late nineteenth century the term "gay life" was a well-established euphemism for prostitution and other forms of extramarital sexual behavior that were perceived as immoral. The use of gay to mean "homosexual" was in origin merely an extension of the word's sexualised connotation of "carefree and uninhibited", which implied a willingness to disregard conventional or respectable sexual mores. Such usage is documented as early as the 1920s. It was initially more commonly used to imply heterosexually unconstrained lifestyles. A passage from Gertrude Stein's Miss Furr & Miss Skeene (1922) is possibly the first traceable published use of the word to refer to a homosexual relationship, though it is not altogether clear whether she uses the word to mean lesbianism or happiness:

“ They were ...gay, they learned little things that are things in being gay, ... they were quite regularly gay.
