Narrow-mindedness in Greece can sometimes be so monstrous, that it can also be utterly self-defeating:

People all over the world are now laughing their heads off about the recent NEW international “Greek naming dispute”: All this preposterous global stirrup was generated by certain irrational hard-headed inhabitants of Lesbos island in Greece, demanding (legally as well) that… (female gay) Lesbians should be denied the right of using the word “Lesbian”, since it’s alleged to be a “copyrighted” Greek word, belonging only to the inhabitants of Lesbos!

• Wow, maaan… AFTER THIS, nobody is likely to take seriously, any more, ANY other Greek “naming dispute” with anyone else (e.g. F.Y.R.Macedonia)!
  
• However, a compromise solution between FYROM and Greece, based on a composite name for F.Y.R.Macedonia is actually a very reasonable idea, as I explained in other blog-posts: There are serious drawbacks in an unqualified name “Macedonia”, for a small country which is only a small part of GEOGRAPHIC Macedonia. O.T.O.H. a compromise solution is NOT liked by fanatic Greeks and fanatic Slav Macedonians, alike.

However, a SIMPLE SOLUTION to the “problem” of these hard-headed inhabitants of Lesbos has probably eluded everybody:

• ALL we have to do, as a country wishing to avoid… bad impressions every time the name “Lesbian” is confused with the local geographic identical term, is to RENAME the Greek island “LesVos” (with a V), also demanding that everyone else in the world uses the terms “LesVians” and “LesVos” instead of “Lesbians” and “Lesbos”.

SO SIMPLE, but SO DIFFICULT TO SEE, isn’t it?

• Lesvos, not Lesbos. Lesvians, not Lesbians!
