Sex & Society

Three residents of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos are licking their wounds today after an Athens court rejected their complaint that gay women were monopolizing the term 'lesbian.'

"The word lesbian has been associated with gay women for the past few decades but we have been Lesbians for thousands of years," Dimitris Lambrou, one of the complainants, said.

The court, however, countered that the term "lesbian" neither defines status nor personality; thus the islanders had no case.

Lambrou promised to appeal the case. The man really needs a hobby.
