Residents of the Greek island of Lesbos launched a legal action yesterday against a homosexual group, insisting that only islanders had the right to call themselves lesbians.
The inhabitants of the island said they were attempting to ban the Greek Gay and Lesbian Union (Olke) from bearing the name “lesbian”.
Residents of Lesbos now suffer “psychological and moral rape” from the “seizure” of their island’s name by gays, according to the complaint by Dimitris Lambrou, a local activist. He has set out his argument in “The Misfortune of Being Lesbian”, published on his website.
It’s a hoot, but legally, it isn’t going anywhere. Ask the brewers in Ceske Budovice. Though it is nice to know that there can be male lesbians.

at this point, it might just be easier to change the name of the island.

LOL! That would be an affront to, uh, “Greek culture.” But it worked for Eastpointe MI (formerly East Detroit). Is there another language they can go to, like Oswiecim, Poland?
