I generally use girl to denote a young female, but there are idiomatic exceptions such as being just ‘one of the girls’ or ‘You go, girl!’ that are used with older women, too. For a young lesbian, I would spell it gyrl but pronounce it the same. A friend could be male or female of any age. I use girlfriend to describe a good friend who happens to be female (any age) or a younger woman dating someone I know (nephew’s girlfriend). I am more likely to call a lesbian I date a womanfriend than a girlfriend.
