History
The first known mention of bambi-sexuality was in the second edition of The Alyson Almanac, a publication documenting queer community terms, describing it as "Physical interaction centered more about touching, kissing, and caressing than around genital sexuality." On December 27 2016, Urban Dictionary user delishdelish posted the first known definition of bambi lesbian as "a lesbian more interested in cuddles and kisses than sex."

At some point on or before August 25th 2017, nonbinarysapphic on Tumblr made a post alleging that bambi lesbian was a term used in the 1980s for lesbians more interested in kisses and cuddles. While it could not be verified that the term existed in this sense, Queer as Fact on Tumblr did confirm that bambi-sexuality did exist in the queer community since as least 1990.

On March 8 2018, Tumblr user wuvsbian coined a bambi lesbian flag. The colors were based on brown for deer, and pink for women, which was likely derived from the lipstick lesbian flag. FANDOM user Unfunny person420 created a simplified version of this flag through an edit on the LGBTA Wiki on May 10 2021.

A second bambi lesbian flag by an unknown creator was posted by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt on February 24 2021, resembling the lipstick lesbian flag with pink and brown stripes. Pride-Flags posted a second bambi lesbian flag on April 17 2021, also by an unknown creator.

At an unknown point, former Tumblr user plurgai posted its own take on a bambi lesbian flag, though the coining is lost.
