We're the true Lesbians, say islanders

RESIDENTS of the Greek island of Lesbos have launched a legal case against a gay group, insisting they are the real Lesbians.
Two inhabitants of the island of Lesbos along with a member of a nationalist pagan association today launched a legal case to ban the Greek Gay and Lesbian Union (OLKE) from bearing the name "lesbian".
Lesbos was the home of the poet Sappho, who expressed her love of other women in lyric verses written in the early sixth century BC.
Lesbos residents now suffer "psychological and moral rape" from the "seizure" of their island's name by gays, said the activist Dimitris Lambrou, in a text titled The Misfortune of Being Lesbian, published on his website.
Mr Lambrou believed the case will be judged in Athens in June.
"This affair is totally ridiculous," said OLKE spokeswoman Evangelia Vlami. "But if we are summoned by the courts, we will be heard."

This is great. There are portions of Europe that are getting their arms around branded products. "Champagne" can only be branded as such if it originates from the provence of Champagne. Same thing is progressing for hams and cheeses, famous in their Italian, French, Swiss and Spanish sources.
Lesbos for the Lesbians™.
Oh, this is going to be fun.

I once dated a girl named Virginia, she was called Virgin for short.....but not for long.

Why? He ain't getting any of that action -- he's male....
Unless of course he's into watching girl-on-girl...

Seeing that my paternal grandfather was from Lesbos, I may be the only real Lesbian on this site even if I am a 6’, 250 lbs male.

I think they're missing a real economic boom here. First they trademark the name, then they market tours to rich perves: See REAl Lesbians -- their lives and loves!
So you go to the island and watch them pick olives or whatever and go to a Greek Wedding.
