They really should be using terms like bisexual, heterosexual, etc. With clear statements that they're talking about sex not gender... Otherwise that research is pretty bunk without a better explanation of what they mean in terms of sexuality.

That breakdown have little of no meaning, as it is stated "same-gender loving", this means that gay man who transitioned to woman will become "straight, and straight man who transitioned to woman will be stated there as a lesbian, and they will "change orientation" (what USSR and nazi Germany were doing to gay people before, and Iran is doing now, to "change orientation" like that). There is a big rise of "trans lesbians" and "trans gays" in last few years, most of whom are not even trying to "pass" as the gender they are trying to be.

It would be much better if they used just "attracted to males or females" instead. So if gay man was attracted to males only and transitioned, then still be attracted to males only - so will still stay homosexual, and it will be clear who is who.
