Lesbiana naiz
Explanation:
This is the most appropriate way to write this sentence in Basque. There was even an advertisement broadcast on radio which contained it (I highlight it between asterisks):

"Frida naiz, **lesbiana naiz** eta nire desioa bidezkoa denez lesbofobiaren kontra egiten dut borroka."

Meaning: "I am Frida, **I am a lesbian** and -- as my desire is legitimate -- I fight against lesbophobia.
