Best Answer

No.

A lesbian is a woman who is sexually/romantically interested in other women.

Used to be that gay was used for men who were sexually/romantically intersted in men, but today gay is often used the same way as homosexual - meaning someone of either sex who is sexually/romantically interested in the same sex and not the opposite.

No, they are not the same. "Gay" typically refers to men who are attracted to other men, while "lesbian" refers to women who are attracted to other women. Both terms fall under the umbrella of homosexuality.
