I'd like to see the statistics about that. I routinely hear the claim that people from Lesbos don't like the term 'lesbian' because of its association with gay women, but I've never seen this evidenced outside of a news article about a court case involving a whole three people who found the term insulting.

On the contrary, it seems that it's quite well-received by the locals. The bits that I can find about opinions is that it's seen very tongue-in-cheek and is even something that they're proud of (read: Sappho).

I think sane people have this wonderful capacity to contextually differentiate between words that have more than one meaning. Dumb-dumbs will, however, always find something irrational to be offended about.
