Let’s hope there’s no such place as Homosexos …
Having finished my daily dose of the Daily Mash I popped over to BBC News to get the serious news.
Or so I thought.
I thought perhaps the Daily Mash had managed to hijack my browser and spoof the BBC News website somehow when I saw this: Lesbos islanders dispute gay name. Apparently, the islanders of Lesbos are so outraged by the use of the word lesbian – derived from name of the island thanks to a muff diving poet from the 7th Century BC – that they’re taking a gay and lesbian society to court to try and force them to change their name, claiming that the appropriation of their adjective to refer to ladies who like doing rude things with other ladies is a breach of their human rights.
It’s reassuring to see that with all the problems going on round the world, the inhabitants of Lesbos can still find so much time and energy to devote to such a pointless activity (the legal action, not girl on girl action which is … I’ll stop now).

There’s a very, very camp irony in the thought of a hairy chested, Greek ‘medallion man’ describing himself as a Lesbian.
Greece, eh? In the words of Rutger Hauer: If it didn’t exist, you’d have to invent it.
