[Rusty van Reddick]

Actually my point was abou the archaic term "homosexual"... used as a noun. People don't do that just as they don't refer to black people as "negroes" and they don't refer to people from India as Hindustani as was once customary.

Sexuality DOES matter, and the fact that we have a thread on SSP members' offspring is testament to that. You don't see this as declaring one's sexuality because it's normative and socially supported to share news of the results of your penile-vaginal intercourse. That doesn't make such discussions irrelevant to sexuality- it's more relevant "sexually" than is my offhand mention of my partner not liking 80th and Ivy.
