From http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7376919.stm:
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 man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.
He says it causes daily problems to the social life of Lesbos's inhabitants.
The judge is gonna have a hard time trying to decide this one.. Can you guys think of any alternate names? :D

Well the reason homosexual women are called Lesbians in the first place is because of that damn island. Sappho was a Greek poet whose poems revolved around women and.. well.. women. She was basically history's first documented "out" lesbian. When other women started liking her writings and ideas, she founded a school on the island of Lesbos. Most of the women on the island were also what time would come to call lesbians... I mean, it makes sense... you don't go to a Melissa Etheridge concert to see straight girls... Hand in hand, you didn't go to Sappho's school to learn about being a good wife to your husband lol.

There are probably more gay women than people living on the island. I guess the mob mentality wins again.
