100% of the participants are gay, but it's between opposite sexes, so is it heterosexual?

I believe the sex would he heterosexual, but the parties would still be homosexual. This happened a lot in lavender marriages. The fact they had sex to produce children didn't change their sexuality.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Similarly, e.g. two bi men getting married is a gay wedding, even though neither party is gay. The relationship can be described independently of the people in it.

I think that's why we call it "same-sex marriage" rather than "gay marriage"

I've wondered the same thing when I was twelve, but eventually I grew up to realise that it was a stupid question.

Sir, this is a shitposting forum.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

I get confused sometimes

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

You know it's not a great question but it's better to ask in a relatively safe environment than to make assumptions.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

they just happened to meet in a closet

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 14 points 12 hours ago

Just like when two straight men have sex?

[–] moxlas@discuss.online 13 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Homo - same sex intercourse, hetero - man and woman having sex. Their orientation won't make intercourse gay, it's between different sexes so the act itself is heterosexual.

An act of intercourse. But yeah what is life?

Nowadays hetero has been redefined to better reflect gender diversity. Homo is same gender, hetero is different genders, even if the gender are not man and woman. This includes non-binary people in the definition, as long as they are not the same gender, is not homosexual. And to be honest, it ties better to the word, etymologically.

Also bisexual now means homo and hetero, not men and women. I'm still confused about pansexuality in this definitions. I also might have got something wrong in this explanation as I'm a cis straight dude, who listens to other people saying this things.

It's also how gay people reproduce.

A third person watches and is Become Gay, Destroyer of Sphincters.

But if a baby results, it's hermaphroditic.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What if that person is gay already, does he become super gay?

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Super gay, or gay^2^, yassified.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

I'd say sexual intercourse in itself can't be homo- or heterosexual since that is a denomitor for people's sexual attractions.

The sexual intercourse would simply be male-female sex.

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The wouldn't, though, so 🤷‍♀️

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

They might. Sexuality is a spectrum.

Hey everyone in the comments, you seem to be experts on the terminology

Care to explain this comic to me? Oglaf: Memory (NSFW)

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Hetero - from the Greek ἕτερος meaning different or other

Homo - from the Greek ὁμός meaning same

Irregardless of the orientation of the people involved, if its two different gendered people having intercourse it's heterosexual intercourse. It just wouldn't be any fun for the people involved.
