Lesbos try to ban lesbians.
:
From what I can tell from googling the term "lesbos," this has been snowballing (Hurr, pun,) since April this year, when a bunch of Lesbos claimed that they were the only ones who were allowed to use the term Lesbos. Either way, this is news to me. Discuss. |
I love the word lesbian, I hope they don't ban it. Seriously, if they take offence, it's their problem. I just don't think 'gay woman' sounds right.
|
And female fag isn't much better either.
|
What the hell? The word itself comes form that name. Why not just start stricly going by their alternate name of Lesvos? I've heard of Les Bos, coming from "les beaux" meaning "the beautiful" in French. I wonder if there actually a lesbian nightclub that goes by that name.
|
I heard this on the news and my mum commented that the Lesbosians were complaining about this shit 35 years ago when she was in Greece.
|
"British" and "gay" are practically synonymous in some places.
|
Certainly around the people you seem to associate with...
|
Woohoo! Recognition!
|
What the hell happened to free speech.
Nice try greeks, isn't your language, well, greek? *Edit* It seems I need to read more, and I'll answer alot of my own questions. So it's just restricted to one island, ok, it's bad, but realy, those people could just ditch the island, and I'm sure it wont have an impact on the rest of the world. Famous last words. |
Those darn greeks.

I support this.

I think an ignorant Italian guy when hears the word lesbians understands what it means, but I think that when he hears lesbos he understands something like a perfume. Trust me.
|
If they do ban the word, what will replace it?
|
Most likely a lengthy term so PC that they'll never be able to reclaim as a word or words to be used with pride, and much less want to.
