Lambrou the Lesbian vs the lesbians of the world
Aside from politicians, it’s not often that complete lunacy makes it to the main headlines of the mainstream media, but a looming court battle over the claimed appropriation of the word lesbian by, er, lesbians is receiving quite a lot of coverage right now. You might be forgiven for thinking that an inhabitant of the Greek island of Lesbos might rightly be termed a Lesbosian, but no, not according to Dimitris Lambrou, a publisher of a small and presumably very earnest magazine about ancient Greek religious issues. An islander on Lesbos, he’s a Lesbian (note the all-important capital L), or so he claims.
