Apparently, Sappho's fanfic girlfriend, and thus a code-word for lesbian/bi women?
Bilitis can refer to:
* The Songs of Bilitis, 1894 collection of French erotic poetry attributed to the fictional Bilitis, purported contemporary of Sappho --- Trois chansons de Bilitis (Three Songs of Bilitis), song cycle by Claude Debussy composed in 1897, based on the poems
* Daughters of Bilitis, the first lesbian civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1955

I'd heard of the second one, and think it's based on the first.
I still think it sounds like a fake name--apparently it was invented by some French dude?
