It's not a dogwhistle homie, it's a bullhorn. Same-sex means same-sex and we're using it to clarify that our sexual orientation excludes you. There's no secret hidden message here.

Yes, exactly!!! The phrase means exactly what it explicitly suggests. Same-sex attraction. It exists, it's a real phenomenon, and there are people who that describes. Suggesting that the phrase has a secret other meaning that overrides its literal meaning is erasure (that word is overused but it really does apply here) of LGB people.
