Which part of that definition applies to those who don't have sex with persons of the same-sex, but also don't view it as 'perverted'?

Bonus question: Is the human body "designed" for masturbation and, if not, is that "perverted"?

Okay, I asked for a link, but we'll work with this. You've stated the definition of homosexual as "Sex between two people of the same sex." ... I'll give you the benfit of the doubt that this is shorthand for "SOMEONE WHO HAS sex with someone of the same sex".

It still doesn't support your statement from before:

If you don't think the homosexual act is perverted then by definition you're a homosexual.

As I stated previously, you might want to back that up with a major dictionary, or revise your statement to something along the lines of "If you don't think the homosexual act is perverted then WHILE NOT BY DEFINITION A HOMOSEXUAL, you are by the rules of logic saying the homosexual act is NOT perverted, thereby accepting the homosexual act."

Otherwise, by making up definitions, you become easily ignored by your opponents as a "nut", and don't even get the change to put forth your position.

Of course, if you can LINK to a definition that states what you said ... not infers or anything, as your statement did not say "then by INFERRENCE you are a homosexual", keep that link handy to back up your argument!

And, for everyone else watching, I'm not trying to flame or berate or support or deny anything here ... I'd just like to understand the arguments on both sides, and if there IS a definition somewhere in the dictionary supporting what was said (I know mnay words have a variety of definitions), I be curious to see it.
