So you'd rather be called a ******?

What? no.

It's a bit long though. I usually shorten it to just the first two syllables.

Depends on the context.

STOP

I like "homo" better. It's cool and hip.

EDIT: Homo is offensive??? Since when

Yes, honestly I hate all the words that are used as labels. Can we all just be called human beings.

Homosexual isn't much different than homosapian

Homosexual is so clinical. It was first used to categorize being gay as a mental disorder in the DSM so I really hate the term.

I had no idea people took issue with this at all

ugh

I agree. It's a very clinical term.

With a passion. Like just call me gay. At least with that term it sound like you're describing me.

Being called a homosexual sounds like I'm apart of another species

It is a bit annoying and too formal, makes it seem like we are test subjects or something. I prefer gay.
