Lesbos in court over 'lesbians'
When hearing the word ‘lesbian’, do you think of the geographical destination or sexual orientation?
Well, that’s the point three people from Lesbos are trying to make by taking a gay rights group to court for using the word ‘lesbian’ in its name. According to one of the plaintiffs, the Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, "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.
So here you go, not all Lesbians like lesbians. I am trying hard to feel sorry of either of the groups, but I just cannot stop laughing at the idea of the court case :D Very un-pc of me.
