This is something that makes me go hmmm.  There is an island named Lesbos, and the people from that island are called Lesbians.  They want to take back that phrase and have it refer only to them and not to homosexual women.  It reminds me of that Southpark episode where Mrs. Garrisson
rallied the “lesbians” at this bar called “lesbos” and fought off the persian invasion, a la “300″
