One well - known black lesbian short story is 'Zami: A New Spelling of My Name' by Audre Lorde. It's a semi - autobiographical work that beautifully explores themes of identity, love, and the experiences of a black lesbian woman.
There is also 'Brokeback Mountain' which, while not specifically about black lesbians, has themes of same - sex love that can be related. However, for more directly relevant ones, you could look into collections in LGBTQ+ literature libraries. Often, local libraries or online LGBTQ+ literary communities can point you to short stories that focus on black lesbian experiences. These stories can offer unique insights into the intersection of race, gender, and sexual orientation.
