Frivilous lawsuits aren't just confined to the United States. These 'lesbians' are forgetting the economic benefits the 'other lesbians' bring to Lesbos lesbians. I guess many residents of Lesbos feel just the same as South Floridians do. As much as we hate the extra traffic and other inconveniences that snowbirds cause every winter, at the same time intelligent people know the economic benefits for the area brought by these part-time residents and tourists.
