Without other scriptural support I do not believe it is correct to read it as an injunction against female homosexuality; in the context of Lev. 18:22, the absence of an explicit female equivalent, or anything approaching such a statement, indicates strongly against such an interpretation.

So if there is no injunction against female homosexuality under the law is it OK to be a lesbian in the eyes of God?

Before you answer remember that under the law, committing adultery under the law was punishable by stoning.

Do you really think that lesbianism was acceptable behavior in ancient Israel?

I'm not making any judgement as to its acceptability in ancient Israel. What I am doing is pointing out that it was not mentioned, whereas male homosexuality is mentioned, multiple times. And I also think there is a good reason why male homosexuality is singled out, because it is uniquely dangerous not only to the individuals involved but also to the community.

There's no AIDS crisis among lesbians. Coincidence?
