Note: Homosexual was once considered an appropriate term, but this is now considered outdated. Most gays and lesbians feel the term "homosexual" is considered too cold and clinical, and prefer to be called gay or lesbian instead of homosexual. This is much along the same lines as straight people who don't refer to themselves as "heterosexual", they usually refer to themselves as "straight".
Sample sentences:
- Gay people were once referred to as homosexual, but that usage is now outdated.
- The guinea pig exhibited homosexual behavior.
- Homosexual activity in the Gambia is illegal.
