Well couldn't they changed the word that defines their nationality? Instead of "Lesbians" how about..

..LesBOS..ians?

or Lesbon..ian? I really don't know, but they do refer to Mytilene anyway. And, like in the article, we are from the island of Lesbos.

they probably feel that they shouldn't -have- to change

Sucks to be them, but if they think suing a lesbian group is going to do anything apart from making the world laugh at their predicament, they're sorely mistaken.
That would be like someone trying to sue a gay group because he can't use the word to mean happy anymore.

The english language is an ever-evolving... thing.
To say it's bastardized -now- is just hemgrominan

It's too late. It's awful for them, but they can't change what the word means now.

But they can come here and find dates really easy. "Hi, I'm a lesbian. Want to go out?" "Uh... yeah!"

how inane, nonsensical and overgeneralized

since it's between a Greek island and a Greek organization, i'm guessing the lawsuit is being conducted in Greek

Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

It would be a tad awkward if you think about it though. You'd have to add a disclaimer every time you told someone where you were from.

It's odd that he's a big critic of the Christian Church.
