I'm not very PC. And I'm a warm audience for Christian jokes.
But I don't know what is significant about "in a sidecar "
Please tell me what you meant.

When did "homosexual" stop meaning same sex?

I ask because I did not get the memo.

Stop calling same-sex actions "homosexual actions". That's not the definition of homosexual.

I don't know how your reply relates to my comment unless you are saying you didn't get the memo that homosexual is same-sex actions (my point). It has nothing to do with same-sex at all.

What's wrong with homosexual? It's a good word, and bears repeating. :0P

Think everyone is missing out on a word or skipping it, one or the other.

It's annoying when people say "homosexual actions" There is nothing wrong with the word homosexual. I am referring to the phrase people use in relation to same-sex relations that happen between any two people homosexual or not.

Haha. I only knew GLBT whenn I first heard it. Then it went to GLBTQ. Then I went online the first time and saw GLNTQA and I I think there's another letter. Sometimes they put an S at the end to be "politically correct."

People are people. Actions are actions. I never heard people call intercourse "straight actions". :shrug:

Ok, I am trying to honestly figure this out.

Two guys, who are both homosexual, ram each other in the "poop chute." They are the same sex, and performing a homosexual action...homosexual because heterosexual men do not do that with other men. Am I missing something? o_O

This is a request to be more PC in general.

Why is this so offensive?

What if another gay person is OK with it? What if 50 people are OK with it and 50 people are not OK with it? What if there is simply no intent from the speaker to offend anyone?

Since you asked for yourself personally then I will honor it for you at the very least.

It's not an objective post. That's why I said I don't know about other GLBTQA.

I mean, many gay people use queer but that word, if someone used it with me, makes me feel dirty (no pun). Just call me gay. If you want to be politically correct, call me lesbian. If you are referring to my actions, call it that don't place homosexual in the middle of it. Has nothing to do with what I do since it means same-sex sexual orientation not same-sex acts.

At least from a non-religious perspective. A lot of people define it by actions, so....

Haha. I get your point. You are using it in context. Many people do.

It's not a homosexual act, it's a same-sex act. It has nothing to do with the two people's sexual orientation. It has to do with any two people performing same-sex (not orientation) actions. Once you put homosexual in there, then you are defining an act anyone does (it's not specified to homosexuals) to homosexuals.

It's one of those actions that isn't identified or a straight of a specific person but something that anyone can do. Universal action, I guess you can say.

I mean, we call women who were burka's Muslims (or religious who where burkas). It's common to associate Muslim women with wearing burkas. However, not all people are Muslim that where Burkas. It's technically incorrect but people use it so we accept it socially.

It's a bias association between a person (or thing) and another that objectively have nothing to do with each other. Bothers the mess out of me.

I dunno. A long time ago, I had a therapist that taught me that if I took offense I would be putting the same amount of offense into the world .. That just simply stuck with me.
