In reply to DIABETES UNBOTHERED.

I see what you’re conveying but the concept of using gay synonymously to label a homosexual is the root of all confusion within the lgbt community.

By Webster’s definition, sexual orientation is : a person's sexual identity or self-identification. (I literally copied and pasted their definition) So sexual identity is literally the definition of sexual orientation lol

But you’re right with explaining the deference in being “gay” vs being a homosexual. The term gay = happy has be evolved by modern society to also label gay people. But what it really address is the majoritive lifestyle/ way of being that homosexual live into. Which is why you have some homosexuals, like Young Ma who don’t identify with the term. It’s because they don’t subscribe to overall lifestyle that comes with the popular use of the tile. Gayness/ gay is more of a new age sexual adjective for gender. It describes the behaviors that’s considered other. If you’re not a straight man or woman.. you’re gay. Which is why straight ppl can do gay things lol

When you hear ppl say.. yo, that’s gay to a straight person. Our society is starting to complicate this shit way more than needed. We should keep our sex lives personal and private. Let them
Live independently from our identity. Never supported the concept of labeling an overall person by their sexuality smh
