Lesbos islanders dispute gay name

[Kevy Baby]

This story was emailed to me, but I am not sure if the sender is the someone from this board that I think might be the sender as I do not know said person's last name and I am not sure if said person wants to be attributed to this article (though I doubt said person would have an issue with it). I know that doesn't make any sense, but I wanted to, in some way, attribute the source of hearing about this story. Whew.

Lesbos islanders dispute gay name

Campaigners on the Greek island of Lesbos are to go to court in an attempt to stop a gay rights organisation from using the term "lesbian".

The islanders say that if they are successful they may then start to fight the word lesbian internationally.

The issue boils down to who has the right to call themselves Lesbians.

Is it gay women, or the 100,000 people living on Greece's third biggest island - plus another 250,000 expatriates who originate from Lesbos?

The whole story.
