Amadeus Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Lesbos locals lose lesbian appeal Three residents of the Greek island of Lesbos have lost an attempt to ban the use of the word "lesbian" to describe gay women. The residents argued that using the term in reference to gay women insulted their identity. But an Athens court ruled there was no justification for their contention that they felt slighted, saying the word did not define the islanders' identity. Well, glad that's sorted then.. Let's hope the folks in Gayville don't sue, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
