Three Lesbians (residents of the Greek island, not women-loving-women) have taken to court the gay organization, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece. The three Lesbians claim that the organization "'insults the identity' of the people of Lesbos, who are also known as Lesbians."
"My sister can't say she is a Lesbian," said Dimitris Lambrou. "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos," he said.
Lesbos, the birthplace of the anciet poet Sappho, is a widely popular destination spot among gay women.
I would be interested to see what anti-gay groups have to say about this.

That's funny. I suppose we could start calling gay women lesbos and the islanders lesbians. Or the islanders lesbos and the gay women lesbians. Or, perhaps, we just have to think up a new word?
You've gotta be friggin kidding me. How do they even sue those people? Do you have to register as a homo in Greece?
I vote think up a new word. Suggestions for words my friends and I currently use for lesbos:
lezzers
family
flashlights
bendy
nice
Nevermind, I just re-read and saw that they are suing the ORGANIZATION. I'm stupid. And a lesbian. But not from Lesbos.
Oooh, we could be "Lesbians Not From Lesbos."
"flashlights" ???
haha, i agree with john: flashlights?
I like "Lesbians Not from Lesbos."
But honestly, what would be even sweeter is if the Lesbians from Lesbos embraced the meaning of lesbian (not from Lesbos)... I mean, if thousands of lesbians venture there each year, then they could probably make a lot of tourism money... we gays are all rich with disposable income, after all.
"we gays are all rich with disposable income, after all."
Hahaha
