Stop calling same-sex actions "homosexual actions". That's not the definition of homosexual. It is a bias label that excludes the same actions that many straight people perform and visa versa. It also shows that same-sex actions is exclusively a "homosexual" trait. It is not.

Please get it right. It annoys the heck out of me. I don't know about other GBLTQA yes and S, but I'm getting off my soap box now.

Homosexual is a person who is attracted or have a sexual orientation (physical/mental/spiritual) to those of the same-sex. It is not defined by same-sex actions. That's what I meant.

If a bisexual is homosexual (i.e. not bisexual) when having sex with a member of the same-sex, then you're asexual (i.e. not heterosexual) when you aren't having sex with anyone.

Aside from those who are perhaps intellectually challenged, Carlita, is this actually a problem? Do bear in mind that I'm in Canada and we are considerably more progressive than you folks in the lower regions. :) The only time I've ever really heard anything about "homosexual actions" its usually slobbering from the mouths of the religiously insane. No one here pays them much heed. We stop, point and laugh, then carry on with whatever we were doing.

Im just about to get ready to go out. Have people to call, things to do. Its not really a big deal. I jjst get annoyed when I see it. It implies same-sex acts are a homosexual identified trait. Maybe others dont see it, I dont know. Its an inaccurate word just as "same difference" but we use phrase all he time. English. But in this case it has bias and misunderstanding of how homosexual doesnt relate to same-sex acts. Its not a simili or metaphor for it. Same/difference are oposites. A lot of our pet phrases have a connection homosexual acts does not. Its wrong morally and grammatically.

Other than that, I should eat.

I've got fresh blueberries in the fridge if you'd like some! :) Too early for breakfast just yet, but that first cup of coffee is lookin' good.

That said, and partly because I am so freakin' anal. If used properly, "same difference" is not an incorrect expression when intended as an oxymoron. I do understand how it could be misused however when used by moronic oxen.

Revelation all the time
The action/activity clearly does not define the orientation... is what I hear OP saying.

Not sure if OP is saying more, but I see it as intellectually challenging (or debatable) to correlate the actions to the orientation. For surely any person can do any action with any person (generally speaking), at just about any time, and it doesn't necessarily impact orientation. Example: a person self identifying as 100% homosexual could engage in opposite sex activities (of the sexual kind) and before, during and after remain 100% homosexual.

Though my bisexual self would find that intellectually challenging to process as to how that makes for 100% orientation (either way). I do think the cultural bias is such that if 100% homosexual engaged in heterosexual relations, there would be a bias at work (that would presume still homosexual) vs. person claiming 100% heterosexual engaging in homosexual relations (I believe cultural bias would say person was closeted, or some assumption like that, amounting to not really 100% what they thought they were, or identified as).

I prefer to simplify that which has grown ridiculously convoluted.

Heterosexual - male/female, man/woman

Homosexual - male/male, man/man, female/female, woman/woman

It does not help your cause when you confuse the hell out of the people you are trying to educate.
