I've been wondering--- is it offensive in English to say "same-sex"? I see in DroptheT that some don't like it and say it reminds them of church/religious context? But I learnt it that way so I do not know.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I guess it could be offensive in the same way that homosexual is said to sound too clinical. Maybe some religious people use the term to denigrate LGB people? I'm not religious or go to church so I don't know.

Ahhh I forgot about MLM & WLW that works too! I guess it depends on context? I usually see MLM and WLM in a dating website context? I am not sure. Oh lol maybe I am thinking of M4M or W4W?? Same thing?

Similar, I guess. M4M(Men for Men or Men Seeking Men), W4W(Women for Women or Women Seeking Women). The acronyms are mostly for online usage.
