Homosexuality

Homosexuality is wrong go kill yourselves and get out of this world you over bloated egotistical little special snowflakes sons of bitches. I will blow your brains out with my shotgun.

Concept

The concept of sexual orientation, of identifying a person based on their sexual preferences, is a social not biological construction. "In ancient Rome, Latin has no equivalent translation for defining homosexuality, nor heterosexuality as an individual’s sexual nature. Gay or straight, there would be no distinction."

The practice of categorizing people based on sexual orientations didn't begin until the 19th century. "Before the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, there were no homosexuals. Neither were there heterosexuals, bisexuals or pedophiles. The concepts didn't exist."

In the 1980s, the concept was still quite vague. "Despite the fact that the concept homosexual identity has been used extensively in the literature on homosexuality since the late 1960s, investigators have shown little concern for defining or discussing the manner in which it is used. As a result, the study of homosexual identity has been characterized by confusion, disarray, and ambiguity."

Male

A homosexual male is commonly referred to as gay, although this term is sometimes also used for females. Males may also be called faggot, puff, fairy and bender, all of which are often considered offensive. In Spanish, puta means a female prostitute, slut or bitch; while the male form puto literally refers to a male prostitute or to sexual intercourse, it can be used as a disparaging term for a male homosexual.

Female

Terminology

A female homosexual is often referred to as lesbian. This term comes from the Isle of Lesbos. The poet Sappho was born in Lesbos and wrote poems with powerful emotional content directed toward other women.
