Perhaps you could write an entire book on how same sex relationship aren't gay, call it internalized homophobia and make it trans some how, you'd make a mint.

You are implying that acknowledging the ambiguity of someone's sexual orientation means that I believe in gender identity ideology. Very funny. Bisexuality and homosexuality both exist, and I believe that fact is worth acknowledging, because TRAs are constantly trying to deny it.

Have a nice day.

That is kind of where you were going tho, jumping in to say how two dudes in a relationship totally aren't necessarily GAY GAY, you know, not LIKE THAT. Come one man.

No, I was talking specifically about their sexual orientation. A same-sex relationship is gay (homosexual) by definition. But the reason why I like to be extra clear about sexual orientation is that not being clear can lead to bisexual people being labeled "gay" and then when they continue to date both sexes, TRAs point at them and say: "Look, that gay man is dating transmen/women! Look, that lesbian woman is dating transwomen/men!" And that is total bullshit, lol. They are not gay.

Does that make more sense? The trouble is that the word "gay" has two meanings-- one referring to a specific sexual orientation (homosexuality), the other referring to same-sex behavior in general (including both homosexuality/bisexuality).

It sounds like we agree on the important parts.
