This is the actual headline from BBC News:

Lesbos locals lose lesbian appeal

Three residents of the Greek island of Lesbos have lost an attempt to ban the use of the word “lesbian” to describe gay women.

The residents argued that using the term in reference to gay women insulted their identity.
But an Athens court ruled there was no justification for their contention that they felt slighted, saying the word did not define the islanders’ identity.

Greeks often refer to the island as Mytilene, after its capital.

This is a good decision for lesbians everywhere,” Vassilis Chirdaris, lawyer for the Gay and Lesbian Union of Greece, told Reuters news agency. 

Wow. Great job standing up for the important issues in the world. I assume we’ll see all of the same players next week in a story headlined “Sherbert is not ice cream - decisive win for frozen dairy enthusiasts everywhere.”

Some people have way too much free time and need a fucking hobby.
