Lesbianism, feminine women who love other equally feminine women, has long existed in Thailand, but barely visible, much less accepted by Thai society. In fact, most Thai only recognize female homosexuality between "masculine" women called "Tom" and their feminine partner, "Dee." Therefore, this qualitative study aims to explore the seemingly invisible and nearly unknown world of lesbianism in Thailand. The information was gathered via in-depth interviews with 10 Thai self-identified lesbians (aged 21-26), all of whom were living in Bangkok, Thailand. The selected three cases were then chosen as narratives to illustrate the lives, identity development, sexual-orientation discovery, and social acceptance, including support and rejection, of lesbians in Thailand. Historically, lesbianism was viewed as a "behavioral phase" rather than a "sexual identity" of a person. However, the greater exposure to westernization that comes with increasing influence of globalization in education and lifestyles appears to have empowered cosmopolitan women-enamored women to embrace the notion of lesbianism as "identity" and the desire to "come out." Still, as shown by the cases in this study, these women struggle to accept themselves as "lesbians" and to earn the acceptance for their newfound identities from their families and communities.
