Hmmmm...

I seem to remember hearing that, in the early period of Australia's spell as a migration target for various 'Greek' cultural groups displaced by the World Wars, the 'Greek' population of Melbourne (state of Victoria) grew to a point where the various regional and island populations started to form their own regional cultural groups.

An application was made to the Melbourne City bureaucracy to register the society name: (~) "The Lesbian Association". This was referred to other authorities ... and a bunch of Victorian Police 'raided' the "offending" premises. They were very puzzled to be met by a bunch of rather hirsute Mediterranean blokes!

Regard(les)s,
