so i was listening to a conversation between a spanish and a french coworker on the bus today about the lesbian spanish vice-president, and i got a real kick out of it. it went something like this. literally-

spanish guy: roquelle told me that the spanish vice president is a lesbian.
french guy: who's a lesbian? roquelle?
spanish guy: no, the vice president of spain.
french guy: oh, is it a man or a woman?
spanish guy: lesbians are always women.
french guy: i know what lesbians are. the vice president, is it a man or a woman?
spanish guy: it's a male lesbian.
french guy: huh?
spanish guy: to be a lesbian you have to be a woman, and to be gay you have to be french.
french guy: okay, so the vice president is a lesbian. so she dates women?
spanish guy: well, there are three kinds of lesbians- homosexual lesbians, lesbian lesbians, and bulgari lesbians.

that's what i remember from the convo, although honestly the french guy asked a few more times if it was a man or a woman.
