Talking of lesbians, has anyone ever encountered the label 'WWHSWW'?
According to a new report by BEMIS (Black and Ethnic Minority
Infrastructures in Scotland), _EveryOne In: Working Towards Equality
For Minority Ethnic Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People in
Scotland_, this acronym (which stands for Women Who Have Sex With
Women) is preferred by some Afro-Caribbean and Asian civil society
organizations because they consider 'lesbian' to be 'at heart a
Western concept originating in Europe and North America
during the early modern period' and thus 'an act of cultural
imperialism' when applied to minority ethnic sexual behaviour. There
is only one relevant hit on Google, but Google isn't the real world.
How widespread is the term in the real world of government-funded race-
specific sex-preference advocacy NGOs?

Your subscription list is far more varied and interesting than mine.
