It is literally where the word Lesbian comes from. It meant the people of Lesbos way before it were associated with homosexual women.

Only people from Lesbos are lesbian, the others are sparkling wine

I feel like this would work better if you replaced wine with homosexuals, but now I'm ruining it more by adding this...

If you edit your comment, and Cethin deletes theirs, and you delete this one, and I delete mine, you can be a comedic genius for whoever reads it later!

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

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

But then how will the people know I am witty and clever? How?
