: How Appealing"Gay rights: Lesbos islanders go to court in bid to reclaim the word lesbian."
The Telegraph (UK) reports today that "Lesbos islanders want to stop homosexual women calling themselves Lesbians; The inhabitants of the Aegean island of Lesbos have began a court action that will attempt to prevent homosexual women from calling themselves Lesbians."
And The Associated Press reports that "3 from Lesbos sue gay group over 'Lesbian' name." (This CNN.com version of The AP's report contains a photograph of a male lesbian.)
Earlier, columnist John Walsh of The Independent (UK) had an essay entitled "Who are the real lesbians?"
And Howard Richler had an op-ed in The Toronto Star entitled "People of Lesbos lay claim to name - but whose word is it? 'Lesbian' is entrenched in English to refer to homosexual women; How about Lesbonians?"
