People of Lesbos take gay group to court over term 'Lesbian'

A Greek court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos and the world's gay women.

Just one more example of the formerly great nation of Greece reduced to a charred land of blithering morons. Anyone remember the "Macedonia" issue with these same people? While they occupy their time with these trifles, the Turks pass them by in prestige and wealth!

wow-that must be a new one-never heard it before

They probably look like men anyway.

How does the Greek army separate the men from the boys? Usually with a crow bar.

[Alfred E Newman]

there would be far less lesbians if more men would lick their lover

[concerned one]

Here we go again (more), another tragic incident involving f*r*e*a*k*s*.

Being in a land inhabited by women with arm hair and "miss-staches" drives some men to extremes.

What?

[glenn]

As long as we're at it, there are all those happy cheerful people who used to be called 'gay', what are they going to do now?

[Geeezzzz]

And your right at the head of the pack...

[Oh My]

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body but I'm from Pompano. Am I a Pompanonian or a Pussyloveranian?

I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Great responses!

MONSANTO WANTS THEM TO DROP THE WORD "CARPET" TOO

I can understand the people of Lesbos wanted to be clear about their identification. However, it would seem that turning the tide of common parlance is an enormous task that will prove futile, even with a win in court. Here is my suggestion to inhabitants of the island of Lesbos: A slight, simple change to calling themselves Lesbosians. The name of the island is better preserved, and no confusion of meaning will result.

In my previous post, I spelled out Lesbos in two places but it was replaced by asterisks. I do not know why this happened.

Also, I did not read the previous posts until after my comment--apparantly I am the only one who sees any merit in their issue. I think it would be quite annoying to have people think I am making a statement about my sexuality when I am simply trying to state my nationality.

[Rainbo-Slantinel]

Well I sure learned something today! I will not use the term again and will not insult the poor folks of lesbos.
