What Is a Lesbian?

April 30th, 2008, 11:57 AM EDT

It’s simply someone from the Greek island of Lesbos.

And they don’t like that gay groups use the “l” word.

  3. Who would’ve thought that the inhabitants of a small Greek island could be just as absurd as people everywhere? Live and learn.

  7. Regarding the video from Clickie. Yes, that’s terrible, and there should be an investigation, but I do wonder if the analyst’s words would be different absent the influence. I have the sense they wouldn’t be much different at all.

  8. A “lesbian” is one that allows her significant other to engage in numerous affairs including those with Juanita Broderick, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky. A “lesbian” always dresses in pants suits and displays an utter disregard for the electorate. A “lesbian” allows her significant other to stay home at his house (painted white) with Barbra Streisand as she attends her fathers funeral unaccompanied.

  10. so I guess we get “lesbian” for gay women from the band Sappho of Lesbos, as WFG started to point out. from m-w.com

    Function:
    noun
    Date:
    circa 1890

    : a woman who is a homosexual

    Function:
    adjective
    Date:
    1567

    1often capitalized : of or relating to Lesbos2[from the reputed homosexual band associated with Sappho of Lesbos] : of or relating to homosexuality between females

    The Lesbian natives of Lesbos should just face the fact that they’re not going to get the word out of our language. Sucks, but it’s true.
