Legal petition for the exclusive right of being called lesbians?

Posted: May 2, 2008 Fri 12:39 am     Views: 267    Interacts: 1


Never thought I would see this but people, gay and straight, are petitioning for the exclusive right of being called lesbians. Apparently, residents of the Greek island of Lesbos have launched a legal action to demand the exclusive right to call themselves Lesbians.
The inhabitants of the island are attempting to ban the Greek Gay and Lesbian Union 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, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Mr Lambrou, who has the support of a member of a nationalist pagan association, said that the case was likely to come before a court in Athens in June.
But Evangelia Vlam, a spokesman for Olke, dismissed the claim.
"This affair is totally ridiculous," she said. "But if we are summoned by the courts, we will be heard."
Lesbos is synonymous with the love verses of the poet Sappho, who expressed her love of other women in poetry written in the early sixth century BC.
