Default Sv: We're the true Lesbians, say islanders

Quote:
RESIDENTS of the Greek island of Lesbos have launched a legal case against a gay group, insisting they are the real Lesbians.


More serious than it sounds.

I remember how, when I first heard it in literature class, I wondered why homosexual women aren't called sapphians instead. We get the picture that all women on Lesbos were homosexual back when the term was coined.

That with time I have come to accept this verbal abuse, to the point that I thought the complainants must be homosexual women, who wanted to be very important homosexual women - it just proves once more how wrong it is.
