Wouldn't the term homosexual be preferable to gays and lesbians since the later is clearly gendered language and excluded non-binary homosexuals?

The sign is too close to the signifier with homosexual; the reality-based definition is baked into the word itself and we can't have that because it correctly implies that homos aren't interested in banging trans people of the opposite sex.

non-binary homosexuals

Going by their logic, if sexuality is based on gender, shouldn't such a person be only attracted to other non-binary individuals? Or people of the same non-binary gender. Also "gay" is usually preferred even by homosexual women, so there's also the "gay non-binary" permutation.

Well no, since non-binary homosexuals are attracted to the same sex and non-binary is defined as not being part of the sex binary but separate than non-binary homosexuals are attracted to (error nan).

True. "Fag" is more gender neutral.

(It's a joke, ♥️ LGB)

That's a decent point since everything else on the board is designed to degender all interactions... BUT... TRAs have also been on a crusade against "homosexual" because gays started using it as a way to fight back against the whole "same gender attraction" thing.

The one and only thing on this sign which doesn't seem to be up to date for the trans ideology is the sign saying to use "sexual preference" over "orientation". That was what we wanted during the gay rights movement but now trans ideology is pushing for "preference" because they don't want us to have a way to say no to sexual advances other than "transphobia".
