Gay woman here! Now, I usually use “queer” but I absolutely have and will use “gay” as well. I do think you must clarify with this person that they are in fact a lesbian or just a woman who is queer. Personally, I would be offended if someone called me a lesbian because I am not one, it would invalidate the fluidity of my sexual orientation. But if she is a woman who only likes or loves woman, she may be called a lesbian if she is comfortable with it. Even though she would technically be a lesbian, some aren’t comfortable with this label.

Stop the world, I want to get off.
