Depends on what does "Lesbos" mean in the Greek language. I thought Greece is a Greek spoken country, not English?

Hey everyone, I know some of you guys tried to pm me or leaving a message on my profile. I am very sorry that I haven't been around here lately because I went up to Puyallup State Fair working with my parents, and then I decided to go to Yakima Fair with my parents to work more, somehow when I came back and discovered that my computer had collasped. So I won't be using the computer as often as I was used to. Thanks everyone

In Greece and Italy, they identify themselves by the location not by the country. The island of Lesbos has been around way longer than the term used by the gay community. Natives of the island are called Lesbians... which I can understand why it'd cause problems for them! :-/ I'm gonna sit back and watch this one play out... should be pretty interesting. I also looked online for the Greek meaning for the name Lesbos, and there isn't any. My guess, it's been the name of the island so long the meaning's been lost. Sapphos (the poetess) lived on Lesbos over 2,000 years ago - names & meanings do get lost with time.
