What's in a name...?

Stolen from mole-spam, and I can't do better than the original subject line:
Lesbians angry at gay women

Basically, people from the island of Lesbos are claiming that use of the word "lesbian" to refer to gay women is a demeaning human rights violation.

Next, are people from India going to sue Native Americans, because they don't want to be associated with scalping and trippy vision quests?

I mean, I feel their pain, but . . . you're not going to transform language with a lawsuit. Words will have the meanings they've evolved to have, even if those grew out of prejudice or dumb mistake. Like "sinister" lefties and "vulgar" commoners.
