Lesbos

Ummm... Ok... Whatever.

The issue boils down to who has the right to call themselves Lesbians.

Is it gay women, or the 100,000 people living on Greece's third biggest
island - plus another 250,000 expatriates who originate from Lesbos?

The man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou,
claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context
violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around
the world.

Oh lighten up, Dimitris. 'Lesbian' isnt even Greek. The -ian suffix is Latin. Call yourself Lesbosites which is closer to the Greek.

Wait, do homosexual women from that island call themselves Lesbos from Lesbos?
