ISLE OF LESBOS: LOVELY LESBIAN LOCALE

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- The word is out: The Greek island of Lesbos is becoming a hot spot for lesbian lovelies. The gay travel newsletter "Out & About" reports the island has turned into a mecca for lesbians because it's the home of Sappho, a lady-loving Greek poetess who lived there in the 6th century B.C. Although few of the island's residents are lesbians, Lesbos is home to a ladies-only nude beach and three lesbian- geared guest houses. Despite these amenities, "Out & About" editors say locals haven't exactly welcomed lesbians with open arms -- and some have even posted signs that read "Lesbians go home!" However, the attitude has improved over the years and lesbians who've been to Lesbos say its definitely worth the trip.
