homo sexuals (serious thread)

[billy]

thanks to scrufuss for the kind words (not sure really deserved).
Billy's question was if homo means man, than why are lesbians called homosexuals too (paraphrasing). benny2guns said it correctly, we are all homo-sapiens and homo means human (not man), as was indicated by a prior thread. "Homosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation, along with bisexuality and heterosexuality, within the heterosexual-homosexual continuum." (wiki...a) Psychiatrists needed to have a term to differentiate one orientation from the other, so basically people (either sex) who are attracted to the same sex are all homosexuals. I don't really care for titles (although i'm a lesbian), but if you must give me a title, i'd rather be called "queer" (from the "sticks & stones verse"). hope this helps.
if billy has read all the threads, i think he will have his answer.

i have it now thanks 1top, it was a serious question.

i'd sooner call you by a name than a label though. i don't think a sexual preference should be used as a title per say. i'm billy. i may be hetero but it will never be my title. thanks for posting. and for keeping on topic
