Careful, you could get sued by Lesbos.
I can get sued by an island?
In lawsuit, Lesbos islanders say they're the only real Lesbians

 

Two residents of the Greek island of Lesbos have filed suit against a Greek LGBT activist group seeking to bar them from using the "L" part of the acronym -- Lesbian, news.com.au reports.

 

The two Lesbos inhabitants filed the suit along with activist Dimitris Lambrou against Greek Gay and Lesbian Union (OLKE). It seeks to prohibit OLKE from using the word "lesbian" in its name.

 

"This affair is totally ridiculous," OLKE spokeswoman Evangelia Vlami told AFP. "But if we are summoned by the courts, we will be heard."

 

Lesbos residents now suffer "psychological and moral rape" from the "seizure" of their island's name by gays, said Lambrou in a text titled The Misfortune of Being Lesbian, published on his website. Lambrou is a member of a nationalist pagan association.

 

Lambrou believes the case will be judged in Athens in June.

 

Lesbos was the home of the poet Sappho, who expressed her love of other women in lyric verses written in the early sixth century BC.

 

Greeks often refer to the island in northeast Aegean Sea by the name of its capital, Mytilene. The resort of Eressos is a popular tourist destination for lesbians visiting the island.

I always crack up when Nick Cave sings.....

 

You took me back to your place

And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit

You played the patriot, you raised the flag

And I stood at full salute

Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb

And made it impossible to speak

As you closed in, in slow motion,

Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek
