reminds me of:

[u/TurtleBurger200 → u/Pauliskindacool]

The G in LGBTQ+ actually stands for Greek (historically accurate)

[u/otterly_destructive]

[u/Enough_Fish739 → u/otterly_destructive]

Is that Lesbos?

[u/LOL_King_0611 → u/Enough_Fish739]

Yes

[u/dracorotor1 → u/LOL_King_0611]

The fabled homeland!

[u/Shayden998 → u/otterly_destructive]

Why's Lesbos look like a kneeling Chester Cheetah glancing over his shoulder?

[u/xX_TrueXXEdgelord_Xx → u/Shayden998]

Holy fuck y he hot tho

[u/Shayden998 → u/xX_TrueXXEdgelord_Xx]

One could say he's flaming hot. A lil crunchy, even.

[u/Certain-Appeal-6277 → u/otterly_destructive]

I was going to say, "Lesbian" in the modern sense is a fairly recent word. She would probably associate Lesbian with the island, and Sapphic with the orientation.

[u/Sewblon]

The Island of Lesbos is independent now?!

[u/Lykanas → u/Sewblon]

I hope they'll actually use the Long Bacon Flag™ if they ever become independent

[u/FlipperBumperKickout → u/Lykanas]

Please make it a "long bacon" flag then 🙃

[u/notnotDIO → u/Sewblon]

No but we can make it :3

[u/EnderCats8 → u/notnotDIO]

by my calculations there are ~100,000,000 lesbians worldwide 

[u/notnotDIO → u/EnderCats8]

Woag

[u/heyitskio]

She's so excited it makes me so sad to imagine her reaction when she is told no

[u/RouteAverage3112]

If she were ancient wouldn't it be mainly the isle of Lesbos?

Idk I'm not a linguist

[u/EnderCats8 → u/RouteAverage3112]

lesbian means people of lesbos, both are correct 

[u/RouteAverage3112 → u/EnderCats8]

Yeah and then since the most famous lesbian was rumoured to be, well, lesbian. The term got extended.

It's just that i don't know how long ago was that shift.

[u/SmartAlec105 → u/RouteAverage3112]

If you didn't know that Sapphos of Lesbos is where we get sapphic and lesbian, you'd think she was a made up person

[u/RouteAverage3112 → u/SmartAlec105]

No some more recent studies say that sapphos might not have been lesbian and it was a misunderstanding.

I studied ancient Greek for the past 5 years and that's what the "experts" say.

[u/EnderCats8 → u/RouteAverage3112]

yeah that's the joke the immortal thinks lesbos is independent 

[u/callmedale → u/EnderCats8]

Not just their people, Lesbian goats are famous for Lesbian cheese and Lesbian sheep were quarantined to the island for a while to prevent disease from reaching other populations

[u/TorqueyChip284]

I appreciate the cool lesbian on the right who has nothing to add but is expressing her amusement at the situation

[u/twolake68]

Carmilla?

[u/TwoCrab → u/twolake68]

The first vampire?!

[u/Prometheus_Bobert]

Well not yet but with enough lesbians I'm sure the Island of Lesbos can be taken over pretty quickly

[u/AnarchistTerrarist → u/Prometheus_Bobert]

Wouldn't even take that many, like 80k. Going off of my calculations from when I looked into trans populations, that'd be 1% of 1%, so 0.1% of humankind and... Let's say lesbians are around 3% so less than 1% of lesbians would be needed to match their force. If you wanna get real freaky and take the whole country that currently has Lesbos, Greece, you'll probably be fine as well.

[u/ManufacturerSuch4659]

Lesbos declared independance? What's next, Uruguay?

[u/DopazOnYouTubeDotCom]

I appreciate the sentiment but we can’t have nationalism even if it’s lesbian

[u/LaughingInTheVoid]

Is that The Guide from What We Do in The Shadows?

[u/Forry_Tree]

Peak

[u/Inevitable-Camel-417]

Okay what if we are offered our own country but it's England. Would you take that?

[u/tomulin13]

Now that I think about it, why flags specifically? Never bothered to think about it
