People need to use the proper words. A Lesbian is from the Isle of Lesvos which is between Greece and Turkey. Learn why women were desired by men as wives from the island. And the word “gay” means happy. it is not a description of behavior or sexual attractions. The proper term for her abnormal sexual attraction is homosexual and homosexuality and if she is involved in same-sex-on-sex behavior the additional words are sodomy, sodomite, sodomize. It is important to use the proper words and their real meanings. And many people misuse words to hide behavior and real objectives.
