Should the term lesbian be banned when referring to homosexual women?
« on: February 27, 2008, 01:22:18 AM »
The term lesbian is an insult to the real original inhabitants of the Greek island of Lesbos who were not homosexual. Why should they steal a whole island name just becaue one person from there was homosexual. I never say lesbian. I only say gay, homosexual, faggot, or dyke. I only say lesbian if I'm quoting someone who said it.

I say to ban it.

I say no. I prefer other terms to be banned. I don't call Gay people Fags or dykes.

Well, according to my strict defence of peoples, ethnicities and nations..... I would avoid it, not because I think that a gay woman is a shame to the Lesbos Island, (Just to clarify, I don't think that) but because is ethimologically wrong and hijacks the name of a population (nation, ethnicity....). I also oppose the use of "vandalism" for instance, because Vandals were a nation in History. If "Vandalism" and "barbaric" were also banned, then I'd agree. But since so many words are permitted in the forum, and every day speech, I vote NO.

I woud bann the term "gay" instead there's nothing happy or funny in calamites; Besides Greeks call it Lesvos not Lesbos. Yacob please stop those bann thread, no words shud be banned unless they vulgar, curse or from newspeak.

Jeremiah 8:11-17

11 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. Peace, peace, they say, when there is no peace.

12 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.

13 'I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.'

14 Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.

15 We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.

16 The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.

17 See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you, declares the LORD.

Not all of Lesbos's inhabitants were dykes but the world's first recorded all-girl 'fun' resort was there.

You should be able to get away with it as long as you're not wearing sensible shoes at the time.

Keep the word. We call fags 'sodomites' after Sodom. Lesbos was the worlds first all-girl 'amusement park' so I don't see the harm.

That's my opinion too, catering to "sensible feelings" of minorities is way to PC censorship.

I'll agree to ban the word "lesbian" if everyone will start calling them "carpetmunchers"!
