This flag is created for bi women/woman-aligned people who are more strongly attracted to women. Historically, the term lesbian has included bi, pan, or other m-spec women.

Since a lot of biphobes are getting rocks in their shoes over this I’mma post some more bi lesbian flags I’ve found around.
Feel free to add others you find/made and please let me know if you know the source for anything unknown!
ABisexual Lesbian (or Bi-Lesbian for short) is someone who is both bisexual and a lesbian. This term can be used by women who use the split attraction model and are bisexual and homoromantic (lesbian) or someone who experiences lesbian tertiary attraction.
They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only
romantically attracted to women. They may find themselves sexually
attracted to men, but could never picture themselves in a relationship
with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though
this varies from person to person. It can also be used by people who
identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing
attraction, or due being part of plural system. Additionally, the term
can apply to women and other non-men who are bisexual and prioritize
their attraction to women/non-men or have a strong preference for
women/non-men, or for people who are reclaiming the historical
definition of lesbian alongside identifying as bisexual.
This can also be switched around for biromantics!
History of Bi Lesbianism
Origin:
The
label “bi lesbian” originated in the 1970s as a result of the effects
of lesbian separatism, a belief within some strains of lesbian feminism
and often within radical feminism which advocates for separating women
from men in as many ways as possible as a strategy to achieve women’s
liberation.[1]
Subsequently, this lead to lesbian separatists rejecting and often
discriminating against women who refused to withdraw from their
involvment with men, particularly bisexual women. Lesbian separatists
accused bisexual women of “sleeping with the enemy” and forcefully
removed them from lesbian spaces and from claiming the lesbian identity
for themselves, by redefining it as “a homosexual female/woman” or “a
woman who does not sleep with men/is not attracted to men”. It is
because of lesbian separatism that the bisexual label became very
popular starting in the 1970s, as the word to describe a woman who was
attracted to other women before was “lesbian”, whether they were
attracted exclusively or not, and now that had suddenly changed.
Examples of Use
Lavender Woman, Volume 2, Issue 5, August 1973: “What is a Lesbian? To me, a lesbian is a woman-oriented woman; bisexuals can be lesbians…”[2]
Lani Kaahumanu, “Bisexuality & Discrimination”, BBWM Vol. 3, No. 6, Dec 1985-Jan 1986:
“…my lesbian awareness isn’t lost now that I claim my bisexuality
[…] My political consciousness is lesbian but my lifestyle is
bisexual…”[3]
Robyn Ochs, “Bi of the Month: Betty Aubut”, Bi Women Vol. 5, No. 2, April-May 1987:
“I call myself a “bisexual lesbian.” I will always politically identify
as bisexual, which to me means opposing restrictive categories […] I
consider myself gay. I think bisexuals are gay and gay liberation is our liberation…”[4]
Amy Wyeth, “Don’t Assume Anything”, Bi Women Vol. 13, No. 4, Aug-Sep 1995:
“Unfortunately, many of my experiences as a lesbian-identified bisexual
woman have said to me that having an appearance or demeanor that
diverges from the expected means I will not be accepted as truly
belonging in the lesbian community.”[5]

I designed the bi/gay vincian flag (under the cut). I used vician meaning gay man (magnian, floric, veldian/turian), but its own word to include gai/gay nlm/torians. -Ap
