Lipstick lesbian
A lipstick lesbian is a slang term for a feminine homosexual woman who is attracted to another feminine woman, rather than a lesbian who is attracted to a more masculine woman, such as in a "butch and femme"-type relationship. The term is thought to have emerged in the early 1990s.
In American films, lesbians are often portrayed according to the lipstick lesbian stereotype, to be both politically safer and more sexually attractive to male viewers. A good example is Showtime's television series The L Word, which presents most of its major lesbian characters in this way.
The term is also sometimes incorrectly applied to bisexual females.
