Gays Hijack "Lesbians"; Isle of Lesbos Residents Sue







.....way ta beat 'em over the head with their own strap on hammer and pop sickle, Isle of Lesbos!

Three islanders from Lesbos told a court Tuesday that gay women insult their home's identity by calling themselves lesbians.



The plaintiffs—two women and a man—are seeking to ban a Greek gay rights group from using the word "lesbian" in its name. Also known as Mytilini, Lesbos was the home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love among women.

It is a major travel destination for gay women. The Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece "causes confusion by using a geographic term in connection with (the group's) special character and social action," said Dimitris Papadelis, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs. A spokeswoman for the group accused the plaintiffs of homophobia.

"I believe ... the other party's intentions were purely racist," Evangelia Vlami said.
"They showed that what bothers them is a specific sexual orientation."



YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS A RACE NOW HOMINIDS, DIG?




"What will they do next, sue the United Nations? They, too, use the term lesbian," Vlami said. Plaintiff Dimitris Lambrou has insisted the lawsuit "is not an aggressive act against gay women." Lawyers from both sides are to submit written arguments on Wednesday, and the court is expected to issue its decision in the next six months.

Greek Parrot In Traffic Court


Coco the parrot is headed to court to contest a $650 ticket, his owner says the issue is a matter of "life or death" for the little macaw.
A legal battle is under way in the western Greek city of Patras over a parrot that is facing a $650 (£320; 444 euros) parking ticket.

The local council says his perch is illegally parked and is obstructing drivers because it partially blocks a metered parking space.

Coco the parrot's owner, Lambros Michalopoulos, says the bird will die if it has to move back inside.

Neither side is backing down so now the dispute is going to the courts.
The local bureaucracy claims Coco's tiny perch "obstructs drivers" and blocks a metered parking space. Coco's owner claims it's life or death for the Amazon parrot, that forcing the little gregarious macaw inside would be a death sentence imposed by bumbling bureaucrats.

We cry fowl.

Coco has been part of the local "color" for 18 years. Bureaucracies come and go but enigmatic life of the party parrots are hard to find.
