A group of individuals subjected to thousands of years worth of ostracism, oppression, torture, and genocide. In some countries today, they are actively hunted by secret police, questioned under grueling, inhuman circumstances, and forced to reveal the names of other homosexuals who in turn receive the same treatment.
Though their origins are genetic, and they have been around longer than any organized religion, they are the 'outcasts', and they are the 'unnatural'.
With unsung bravery, they reveal themselves to society, and are scorned, bashed, and in some cases murdered. Through tolerance, speaking out, and EVERYONE LEAVING US THE FUCK ALONE, perhaps one day, homosexuals will gain their rightful place among the equal.
Homosexuals in today's news:
"Human rights groups have condemned the "barbaric" murder of a 14-year-old boy, who, according to witnesses, was shot on his doorstep by Iraqi police for the apparent crime of being gay." ~05 May 2006
What's the US's take? Don't ask, don't tell.

Someone who feels attracted to people of the same sex (see previous)
Maybe someday the church will realize that being a homosexual is not wrong, like when they realized the Earth isn't flat or the center of the universe.
Priest: The Bible says being a homosexual is not natural, that's why it is sin!
Person: So it means I can sell my daughter into slavery? Awesome!

Sexually attracted to the same sex. That is, men who want it from men, and women who want it from women. Not necessarily obsessed with anal or oral sex. The common slang term is "gay." (Also used is "queer," but you shouldn't use that term unless you are yourself one.)
Not necessarily any more lewd, kinky, perverted, or normal than straights...but not necessarily any less so.
"Those scripture-thumpers are protesting the idea of a homosexual running for the Senate."
"Huh? I thought that candidate was just gay!"

A name commonly given to your average everyday person who works hard each day to make a living. A person who prefers the same sex for sexual activities. A person denied common rights such as marriage, getting into the emergency room with their mate is dying, and filing their taxes together. As varied as their straight counterparts, but stereotyped as being effeminate, dressing brightly or "metrosexual," and being promiscuous. Steretyped and being unmanly, weak, and having "mama" issues.
I'm a gay man who works a corporate job, drives a truck, drinks beer, works in the yard and prefers t-shirts, jeans, and country music. Take your sterotypes and shove 'em. PS - ever had a gay guy kick your ass? Want to now?

A person who comes to the world being what he/he is. So they have no choice but to follow his/her instincts, and that is, feel love for his/her same gender. Homosexuals are the perfect example to explain human race doesnt understand itself as a race. Most homosexuals live lonely/depressed lives because society is full of ignorant people who don't understand the real meaning or morality so they reject them. The homosexual is normal person. Nobody knows why people keep saying they're human cause its so obvious they're human. Maybe the way people threat them is so fucked up some even doubt they might be human. When the homosexual discloses his/her status, he/she lost all of his/her friends and live a depressed, fucked up life. Society even stop these people from making their goals come true by denying then the rights to get certain jobs etc. Even if they're talented, just like me. Its fucking sad. The funny thing is they're born to heterosexual parents who hate gays, and even so, they end up loving his/her child even more because only that kind of love can push people into getting educated about the topic and by doing so, accept them. Education is the key. Say NO to ignorance, be a HUMAN BEING show respect for those who are different. Society is still a primitive and dangerous habitat for humans, especially for homosexuals.
Fred is homosexual, hes got lots of talents, but he was rejected for being homosexual.
