How could these people that brought the lawsuit have been so stupid? Were they thinking that they could send their uh, Lesbian police all over the world to make sure no one uttered that word outside of their tiny island? Are they so homophobic that they cannot honor their most famous daughter Sappho without whom no one would go there? Are the tourist dollars burning a hole in their Lesbian pockets?

Or is it all a publicity stunt even though a rather expensive one?

Lesbians, just grin and bear it!!!

The Aegean island of Lesbos lies just off the Turkish coast. It has become a gathering spot for gay women, especially at the village of Eressos, which is regarded as the birthplace of Sappho.

Several residents testified during the trial that the use of the word lesbian had boosted the island's tourist trade.

Sapphoans? Sappians? Sapps? Eressbians?

Nah! Look at my name even if it's not my real one. I'm a semibutch male homosexual. Doesn't mean I can't comment on the Isle of Lesbos, does it?
