I'm a little frustrated that just because a word didn't exist in the past (lesbian) that is can't be applied to people who lived in the past. Why can't Marie A. be called gay?
who invented this "rule"?
The movie I believe is the 5th Element (with Mila Jovovich.
They are thinking of "La Femme Nikita" I think...
Let them watch "Jersey Shore"...
