So are people from Lesbos all called Lesbians?

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gay women are called lesbians because the woman credited with being the first historically confirmed homosexual woman, the Greek poet Sappho, was from Lesbos.

And Sapphire! All those blue gems are gay as fuuuuck

I've seen Steven Universe, I can confirm.

Probably not. "Sappho" has Greek origins, "sapphire" is Hebrew is origin. They're likely not connected.
