Definitions
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."[3] 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."[1]
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.[2] 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.[3]
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.[4] FANDOM user Unfunny person420 created a simplified version of this flag through an edit on the LGBTA Wiki on May 10 2021.[5]
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.[6] Pride-Flags posted a second bambi lesbian flag on April 17 2021, also by an unknown creator.[7]
At an unknown point, former Tumblr user plurgai posted its own take on a bambi lesbian flag, though the coining is lost.
