Campaigners on the Greek island of Lesbos are going to court in an attempt to stop a gay rights organisation from using the term “lesbian”.

This strikes me as weird, seeing as that’s where the term came from - the poet Sappho was a native Lesbian and possibly a lesbian who expressed her love for other women during the seven century BC.

But Dimitris Lambrou, the man spearheading the case against the use of the term, argues that not only did she have a family, but she committed suicide over the love of a man.

I think he doesn’t have a case. It’s a term. Get over it. You’re a Lesbian, she’s a lesbian. Stop complaining. It’s only because you think lesbian is a derogatory term that you have an objection, you fucking bigot.

I don’t hear you complaining about other Greek derivatives, like democracy. Or hexagon. Or homophobic.

The term stays. People will associate it with the gay community. Live with it. Same with Mardi Gras. It’s safe to say that if you go to a Lesbian Mardi Gras, you’re not going to encounter a load of Greek islanders eating pancakes.

Did the people of Sparta didn’t complain that their collective noun became an adjective for boldness and bravery? Did they fuck. And I’m sure some of them were pussies.

Man, the searches I’m going to get now (cocks an eye towards google).

Apologies about the language today. I worry about being too rude on my site. I may have really offended some people today. My dad reads this. What if he’s a lesbian? Actually, dad, don’t answer that. I’d really rather not know.

I’m so very sorry. Unless you laughed, in which case YAY!

Have a great weekend, everyone. Cocks!

Currently many people care to have discussions as if they have something to say but there is no sound when they move their lips, just a bunch of poppycock. The matriphiles behave as if they are ignorant of Dre.
