Score One For The Gayelles!

July 22, 2008 / Posted by:

Last month, a group of dumb dumbs from the Greek island of Lesbos filed a lawsuit against a gay group for using the word “lesbian” to describe muff divers. The islanders felt that they are the only true Lesbians, so they are the only ones who should be allowed to use the name. They also argued that using the word to describe scissor sisters insulted their identity.

A Greek court threw out the lawsuit and said the word “did not define the identity of the residents of the island, and so it could be validly used by gay groups in Greece and abroad.” The court also ordered the dumb Lesbians to pay 230 Euros in court fees.

A lawyer for the Gay and Lesbian Union of Greece said, “This is a good decision for lesbians everywhere. A court in Athens could not stop people around the world from using it. It was ridiculous.”

Hooray! I will celebrate this victory for lezzies everywhere by eating a fish dinner in my one flannel shirt while watching “If These Walls Could Talk 2.

Let’s spend our afternoon crank calling several business in Lesbos. When they answer, we can ask, “Yeah, are you a Lesbian?” When they answer “yes,” we’ll start giggling like Tommy Girl getting his salad tossed.
