I always wondered what they thought...

There is a legend attributed to Menander which states that Sappho threw herself off a cliff because of unrequited love for a fellow name Phaon (? starts with Phao- anway). However, I don't know of any current research that claims to back that up -- it's mostly been thrown out as a baseless fabrication.

I'll ask around a bit though, maybe there is something current on that.

Not very surprising in these parts to hear people complain about being "disgraced" by female homosexuals calling themselves lesbians.

And as if winning such a case (yeah, right) would stop people from using the word in the first place.
