ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek court has dismissed a request by residents of the Aegean island of Lesbos to ban the use of the word lesbian to describe gay women, according to a court ruling made public on Tuesday.

 

Three residents of Lesbos, the birthplace of the ancient Greek poetess Sappho whose love poems inspired the term lesbian, brought a case last month arguing the use of the term in reference to gay women insulted their identity.

....

"This is a good decision for lesbians everywhere," Vassilis Chirdaris, lawyer for the Gay and Lesbian Union of Greece, told Reuters. "A court in Athens could not stop people around the world from using it. It was ridiculous."

Definition of a waste of time.  Meanwhile, ped0philes roam Athens in search of young boys to tutor, hoping for a return to the relaxed attitudes of days past.

FMH, I think the residents of the Athenian borough of Pedophilus would be insulted that you are conflating their poetic love for children with the  naughty behaviors of the pedophiles of today.

My deepest apologies to the whimsical people of Pedophilus.  Maybe someday the world will be ready for you.

I forget if I posted this when the daba diaries existed or not, but one night I was out with ACB when a girl came up to me and started talking to us. Anyways, at one point it came up that ACB was half Lebanese.

She asked, "Is that like being Jewish?"
