http://rainbowcafe89.blogspot.com/20...mosexuals.htmlI learned something very interesting in my Human Sexual Behavior class today that I wanted to share with you all.
We had a special guest come in. It was a psychologist that teaches at a college, I think. Yeah, he came in to talk to us about sexual orientation. Obviously, I payed attention and took copious notes. Like, duh. =P But anyway, back to what I learned.
Did you know being a homosexual and being gay are two different things? That's some crazy shit, right?
Well, according to the doctor, you could be a homosexual without being gay and many of his patients have expressed this as well. Like. It's separate...
Yeah, mindboggling.
Doing a little research, here's what I found:
Homosexuality refers to romantic or sexual attraction or behavior among members of the same sex, situationally or as an enduring disposition.
In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and occasionally as a noun, that refers to the people, practices, and culture associated with homosexuality.
So, I guess homosexuality is more like... That "attraction". Homosexuality actually refers to sexual orientation. Whereas gay is more of a social term. Kinda like a way of describing and generalizing homosexuals... I think. lol
Interesting shit, huh?
Who woulda thought.
You learn something new every day!
So i guess these are gays.
And these are homosexuals.
