Uhhh...yes.
But there are also hundreds of animal species who exhibit homosexual behaviours - both in the wild and in captivity - so homosexuals can also be found in the animal kingdom - there's even a pair of male penguins who are raising a chick together.
Usually though, when one refers to homosexuals, they are talking about gay people - both gay men and lesbians (gay women).
Oh, and the other meaning of 'gay' - happy? Yes, many homosexuals are also very happy! This particular gay woman (me) is gay in both senses of the word!
Wow, Jacqui, you're also a happy animal?yes, happiness should be enjoyed by anyone in the animal kingdom. On the other hand, there are also gay( men and women) who are not Homosexuals? or vice versa? Any input on this? Thanks for dropping by.
They could be bisexual or pansexual, if that's what you mean. But yes, anyone can be 'gay' in the happy sense and not be a homosexual.
Rodrigo are you talking in terms of the word Gay regarding sexuality? or as it was traditionally used as a synonym for "happy"? If so, it is possible for homosexuals to be "gay" but "unhappy" with aspects of their life like everyone else.
Well, you caught me in this,Dashingscorpio! because of the double meaning of "Gay"- as in male-male, female-female sex sexual orientation or a state of well-being as in Happy or Sad as u said. I wanted the discussion fluid as possible. No limit? TY!
I guess there are but they are happy, nothing wrong with being gay or homo
Yes, whatever or whoever we are we have the rights to be happy! Thanks for the input, Peachy.
I suppose some of them are, some of them aren't. I don't think sexuality is automatically indicative of someone's happiness levels.
Yes, Michaela, you have a point, sometimes different perspective we can't avoid the literal meaning of the word "GAY" Thanks for dropping by...
'Homo.' Of the same kind. 'Homosex.' Of the same kind of sex. 'Sexual' implies a form of seduction, sensual, the act of having sex. 'Homosexual.' Two species or humans of the same sex who find ways of enjoying sex together, or being sexual, sensual.
Gay is a term or label used for them: male, male; female, female ...
Great Manatita!! In other words, male-male sex, female-female sex sexual orientation, all are GAYS? some people will define Gay as the state of well-being, Happy, Sad, Euphoric, etc. Thanks for dropping by...

A lot of straight people don't understand why gay people are gay, and why we are constantly fighting for our rights. If you take this simple test and think about it you might get it.It doesn't matter what your gender is, just have an open mind as you read further.Lets say for example you are...

I know this is a hot topic, but there are some people in my family (none blood related [that I know of]) That are gay. Some are open, some say they are 'recovering' and some might not have even come out yet.Without being too specific, one member has a child who has effeminate tendencies, and the...

If gays and lesbians started their own church, then they could get married.And nobody could stop them, because they would be protected by the first amendment, the freedom of religions act.And of course they would also be able to save a lot of money, because most religion do not pay taxes.

How do you convince someone that they are not destined to be LGBT?As a young executive, I counseled individuals in the past and promoted them into moral society by consistently stating the truth about the mental affliction. Emotional outbursts continue to support the education of LGBT as a...

Do some Gay people not realize they are Gay?I have a friend at work who is a beautiful and lovely young lady with 2 young children. She brought her husband to our Company Picnic last week and it was hard to ignore how flamboyant he was with the male doctors, it was almost embarassing. I do not have...

There seems to be such a focus in the forums between homosexuality and religion/god that I am now curious about whether or not gay people can be Christians in the same context as straight people can be Christians?
