Euro Notes: Greek Islanders Challenge Non-Greek Use of Island Name

What's in a name? Juliet may have asked this philosophically, but right now on the Greek island of Lesbos, the name game is big news and a legal proceeding:

Campaigners on the Greek island of Lesbos are to go to court in an attempt to stop a gay rights organisation from using the term "lesbian".

The islanders say that if they are successful they may then start to fight the word lesbian internationally.

The issue boils down to who has the right to call themselves Lesbians.

Is it gay women, or the 100,000 people living on Greece's third biggest island - plus another 250,000 expatriates who originate from Lesbos?

The man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.

Perhaps I am simply a terrible human being, but I thought this was all rather hilarious.
