I had the check the article to see who they were actually suing, and it's just one large group in Greece that uses lesbian in it's name. I mean, the word is used, well, everywhere it seems, don't they realize that even if they won it probably would do almost nothing for current usage? As you say, they can't police language by lawsuits.

I would imagine it would be a lot harder if (which I'm sure wouldn't happen) if Indians sued Native Americans, because that would be an international law case and I have no clue how it works. It sort of reminds me how France wants to keep the US from calling sparkling wine Champagne, they keep trying to get the US to change but I don't think they can, but again, I have no clue how these international law things work.
