An inclusive place for Older Lesbians to talk about issues important to us, dispense wisdom and swap stories.
r/latebloomerlesbians
Some of us are married to men, some of us are dating them, and some of us are chronically single. But we well have one thing in common: we are late to the coming out game. A place for queer, gay, bi, pan, lesbian, trans and questioning humans to share, give advice, and receive support! We welcome discussions that explore what life looks like or could look like as a “late bloomer” lesbian. This includes talk around sexuality, sensuality, life, friendships, random thoughts, fun, and more.
r/ActualLesbiansOver25
We're lesbians over 25 who felt like the sub r/ActualLesbians was excellent, inclusive of all WLW, did a good job of enforcing no TERFs, & wanted to replicate that for the 25+ crowd. Simply put, WLW life in adulthood is much different, and as much as we're a part of r/ActualLesbians, we wanted a space where WLW 25+ can discuss more specific 25+ things separate from teens or the younger crowd. We do NOT tolerate TERFs, anti-trans rhetoric, or any form of bigotry.
r/LesbianGamers
A place for gaming discussions for and by lesbians, bisexual women, and transfemme non-binary people. This subreddit is not for discussing men. There are places for that. This community is for discussions centered around our attraction to women as women and gaming! We are currently not accepting minors as members of the community due to our safety concerns about Reddit.

/r/actuallesbians — a place for cis and trans lesbians, bisexual girls, chicks who like chicks, bi-curious folks, dykes, butches, femmes, girls who kiss girls, birls, bois, aces, anyone in the LGBT+ community, or anyone else interested! We're not a militant or exclusive group, feel free to join up!
