April 26th is the day that was chosen 12 years ago to celebrate and recognize lesbians. So what is Lesbian Visibility Day (also known as LVD), and why does it matter?

With 34 LGBT recognized periods that are listed on Wikipedia, Lesbian Visibility Day doesn't have much information that's documented to understand its inception in 2008. That, of course, hasn't stopped this vital day from bringing lesbians and their supportive community from coming together and continuing the progressive movement that started in the United States, and is now revered internationally.
