Lesbian Visibility Week 2026 is a time to celebrate, uplift and recognise the strength, diversity and contributions of lesbian women across our communities. From history and activism to creativity and culture, lesbian voices continue to shape a more inclusive and vibrant world.
Visibility matters. Representation matters. Community matters.
Join us in recognising the importance of safe spaces, solidarity and pride. Together we can ensure lesbian identities are seen, heard and valued — not just this week, but every day.
Let’s honour the past, celebrate the present and build a future where everyone can live authentically and without fear.
Mae Wythnos Gwelededd Lesbiaidd 2026 yn gyfle i ddathlu, cefnogi a chydnabod cryfder, amrywiaeth a chyfraniad menywod lesbiaidd o fewn ein cymunedau. O hanes ac ymgyrchu i greadigrwydd a diwylliant, mae lleisiau lesbiaidd yn parhau i siapio byd mwy cynhwysol a bywiog.
Mae gwelededd yn bwysig. Mae cynrychiolaeth yn bwysig. Mae cymuned yn bwysig.
Ymunwch â ni i gydnabod pwysigrwydd mannau diogel, undod a balchder. Gyda’n gilydd gallwn sicrhau bod hunaniaethau lesbiaidd yn cael eu gweld, eu clywed a’u gwerthfawrogi — nid yn unig yr wythnos hon, ond bob dydd.
Gadewch i ni anrhydeddu’r gorffennol, dathlu’r presennol ac adeiladu dyfodol lle gall pawb fyw’n ddilys ac yn ddi-ofn.
