Lesbos residents want group to drop 'lesbian'

ATHENS, Greece -- Three islanders from Lesbos told a court Tuesday that gay women insult the island's identity by calling themselves lesbians.

The plaintiffs, two women and a man, want to ban a Greek gay rights group from using the word "lesbian" in its name.

Ioannis Ahlotas, a plaintiff witness, told the court that the group's name, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, caused embarrassment to women of Lesbos. He said they hesitate to call themselves Lesbians for fear of being considered gay.

A spokeswoman for the group accused the plaintiffs of homophobia.
