Outlaw 'Lesbian'
A GREEK court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean island of Lesbos and the world's gay women.
Three islanders from Lesbos – home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love between women – have taken a gay rights group to court for using the word lesbian in its name.
The plaintiffs said their court action, led by a publisher and two women from Lesbos, is hoped to secure a ruling which will then be used to fight the word "lesbian" internationally.
