Note
A regular plural in -s, though the spelling can point to more than one group. Capitalized, Lesbians are the natives or inhabitants of the island of Lesbos, and older writing sometimes sets that meaning in lowercase, so context decides which is meant. The island's ancient Greek dialect, the language of Sappho and Alcaeus, is a mass noun and never takes this plural.
