Will Greek court rule in favor of the Lesbians (the inhabitants of Lesbos)?

Settled as No

The courts have said "no" to the Lesbians...

Background:

A Greek court is considering a request by residents of the Aegean island of Lesbos to ban use of the word lesbian as a term to describe gay women, a court official said on Wednesday.

"The court heard both sides and will deliver a ruling on the case in two months at the latest," said a court official who declined to be named.

Doesn't look like it. I looked around a bit and everything seems to say there will be a ruling "this month". Not sure when, but I don't think its happened yet.

I've had a flag asking for this to be settled, but it can't be settled yet. Mork's background states that the ruling would happen in the next 2 months at the latest. That would take us up to mid August.

As jenniandboys says, the reports are that the ruling is due to happen "this month", so we need to let it ride until the end of the month at least. As the Rules state that a question can't be suspended longer than 7 days before settlement, I'll reopen this question and put in a suspend date for Aug 24th.
