I so called it! XD

Residents of the island Lesvos have begun legal proceedings to ban the Gay and Lesbian Community of Greece from using the word "lesbian" in their title.

I support this 100%! For months and months now, I've been (half-assedly) trying to get people to switch to another word. Just think of the confusion encountered by any resident of Lesvos (aka Lesbos) traveling abroad! They are, officially, Lesbians. Some of them may also be gay women! Most of them, however, are not.

I say, for the name of clarity, that homosexual women should be known as "rezbians".

REZBIANS!

Oh I know. I remember bringing up in my presentation the fact that even though there is some documentation on women of Ancient Greece, the fact remains that it's all from the male point of view. We don't have anything from women about women.

Yeah, how long as the Gay and Lesbian Community of Greece been established? If it's been a relatively long time, you do have to wonder why they're bringing it up now.

Alas.

I don't know, I kinda got the impression that it's might be a new group, officially, but the article wasn't very clear.
