How to Write Very Cool Lesbian Captions for Instagram
So, you’re looking for caption inspiration and writing tips? Here’s the thing. Most posts you’ll come across online about lesbian Instagram captions focus on Pride month. We don’t know about you, but we think there’s so much more to explore if you want to show off your lesbian pride. After all, you’re a lesbian 24/7, 365 days a year, and not just in June!
How do you write awesome captions — whether mostly for your local lesbian scene or for anyone who’s interested in your posts? Start with these tips, and take things from there!
- You can never, ever go wrong with funny lesbian captions for Instagram. We’re always partial to cheesy puns (and we’re sure you can come up with lots for every single picture you post), but leaning into old lesbian stereotypes in a playful way is also a winning choice. When in doubt, just add funny icing with a hilarious cherry on top to all your couple selfies and lesbian bar nights.
- If you’re showing off your local lesbian bar or other lesbian venue, try to use your lesbian Instagram captions to make the little details that never quite get across in photos come to life. Think about the sounds, smells, and, above all, the atmosphere.
- Are you brainstorming lesbian captions for Instagram because you’re excited to come out on Instagram? Wow! Congratulations. It’s your coming-out party, and you can do whatever you want to, but we’re fans of lowkey, matter-of-fact statements like “meet my new GF — hope you love her as much as I do” or “so, yeah, I’m a lesbian — who knew, right?” These muted captions will spark a party in the comments section, and that’s always nice.
- Still looking for lesbian Instagram captions that show off your pride? If you have no clue what to say, quotes from famous lesbians can help you out with that — and quotes that aren’t about lesbian pride but that still fit your message perfectly are good candidates too, for that matter. We’ve listed some examples in our quotes section below.
