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.

Many people of different sexualities have been led to believe for some time under the current government that we have achieved gay equality. We haven’t. Not only do gay men and women still run the risk of verbal and physical abuse on the street and in their families and neighbourhoods, but they are unable to simply hold hands when in public unless they are either in the back arse of beyond or happen to be walking down Compton Street in London’s Soho, where there is safety in numbers.
