Fun fact: the word "Homosexual" (also "Heterosexual") was coined by a homosexual man and homosexual rights activist by the name of Karl-Maria Kertbeny. That the medical community tried to steal it and pathologize it does not change the fact that it was a word created by and for us.

As opposed to 'queer' which has never been used in anything but a derogatory sense towards us before it was 'reclaimed'.

But no, we should be using queer. Homosexual is wayyyy too descriptive medical.
