>>There is no such thing as “homo” sexuality, unless by that term you are referring to sexual relations between two members of the species homo sapiens. <<

I think positions like this along with claiming there are not very many homosexuals or bisexuals undercut the debate.

Claiming they don’t exist or are rare just makes to person making the argument less believable, whatever else they are saying.

gondramB quoted me: “There is no such thing as “homo” sexuality, unless by that term you are referring to sexual relations between two members of the species homo sapiens.” then commented: “I think positions like this along with claiming there are not very many homosexuals or bisexuals undercut the debate. Claiming they don’t exist or are rare just makes to person making the argument less believable, whatever else they are saying.”

You’re attacking a straw man. I wrote that the behavior called “homosexuality” was not a valid biological description because the human species is not apart from the rest of mammals and primates in requiring paired gametes to continue existing. I didn’t attempt to trivialize the number of people engaging in non-sexual practices which have been misdefined as sexual. Though a minority, they are politically potent in the extreme.
