So are people from Lesbos all called Lesbians?

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Gay women are called lesbians because the woman credited with being the first historically confirmed homosexual woman, the Greek poet Sappho, was from Lesbos.

And Sapphire! All those blue gems are gay as fuuuuck

I've seen Steven Universe, I can confirm.

Probably not. "Sappho" has Greek origins, "sapphire" is Hebrew is origin. They're likely not connected.

Ah, so because I am a transgender woman, I am a Roman!

It is literally where the word Lesbian comes from. It meant the people of Lesbos way before it were associated with homosexual women.

But some people from Lesbos are more lesbian than others.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Only people from Lesbos are lesbian, the others are sparkling wine

I feel like this would work better if you replaced wine with homosexuals, but now I'm ruining it more by adding this...

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Probably yeah, but Im not that funny

If you edit your comment, and Cethin deletes theirs, and you delete this one, and I delete mine, you can be a comedic genius for whoever reads it later!

Thats the equivalent of thinking of a really witty reply in the shower days after the altercation, Im pathetic but not THAT pathetic

[–] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I wish this post had been titled lesbian rule.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

But then how will the people know I am witty and clever? How?

[–] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago
