The people from Lesbos are not happy!

"The term lesbian originated from a mythological goddess and poet called Sappho, who was a native of Lesbos. Sappho expressed her love of other women in poetry written during the 7th Century BC.

But according to Mr Lambrou, new historical research has discovered that Sappho had a family, and committed suicide for the love of a man."

Something fishy about it.

Those lesbians and their anger, always getting into flaps over nothing...

There's a couple of holes in their arguments but I can't put my finger on them.

How can an island of lesbians have such a high population?

Stupid Lesbos, going against god they are. I don't really care if they did change their name i'll still call them Lesbos just like i call MCR EMOS

I thought they all came from Lesbania. Right beside Transylvania. They've got a lot in common, though their Draculette only likes virgin women.

The Goddess of Dungarees and short hair.

I think this story is brilliant.

Poor lesbians.

To be honest they hijacked the term, they have no right to it, like "Queer", "Gay" and "Fag", they're just normal words that Homosexual people use to describe themselves. But the words themselves mean something completely different.
