In today's generation, LGBTQIA+ people have been mistreated in society, particularly lesbians. Lesbians were considered to have the most minor research conducted on this issue. This study aims to know the struggles, coping mechanisms, and insights of lesbian students. The researchers used a phenomenological research design. Ten lesbian students participated in the interview, and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. The result revealed the following themes: social and emotional wellbeing challenges for struggles; respect for one's identity and acknowledging one's rights for coping strategies; surrounding oneself with positivity and setting goals and encouragement for insights. Although being a lesbian has been a challenge in this society, the participants found a way to boost their confidence and be content by being who they are.
