Doesn't answer what exactly makes homosexual homophobic in 2020 as opposed to 2019, like can they give an example of offensive use?

Yep. Zero explanation why heterosexual and bisexual aren’t offensive, but homosexual suddenly is. Also, there’s zero context as to how homosexual is used offensively. What a time to be alive.

It seems like it's an attempt to be hyperwoke. I believe (though could be full of shit) that homosexuality and heterosexuality used to refer to being hypersexual towards the same or opposite sex? But clearly it's been a long time since that was the case, and no one I've ever known has thought it was offensive. Gotta get those woke points, though.

I don't think they've had that definition in over a century, but yes, that was the original definition. Even heterosexuality had a connotation of something abnormal.

Yeah that’s why I’m like “why bother, nobody cares?” Except trans

Sometimes I wish that Ireland was still a mostly Irish-speaking country, or spoke French or Spanish as a mother tongue instead of enough. The English language is being destroyed.

Oh, I don't know. I think the language is fine and will continue to be fine--it's common sense and reason that's being destroyed.

The mental gymnastics these people do to twist, contort and bend reality to suit their agenda isn't limited by language.

The very concept of same-sex attraction is seen as literal bigotry to the trans community.
