Someone who has a sexual attraction to members of their own sex. Contrary to alot of the definitions here, homosexuality is not a choice, and is generally considered to be biological by the majority of scientists. However, alot of ignorant people, normally religious types, ignore the evidence that homosexuality is a biological phenomenon, and consider it to be wrong. Their main reason for this is normally because an old book says so.
Even many atheists may argue that homosexuality is against nature, however it's well known that there are many animals which indulge in homosexual activites, including apes and penguins.

Get the homosexual mug.Its a term to describe modern man.
1.5 to 2 million years ago there was Homo- habilis. The earliest form of man. He was the first 'great ape'
500,000 years ago lived Homo Erectus (he walked on 2 legs)
Then came the Neanderthal (about 100,000-30,000 years ago). They were very primitive and animalistic, but they lived in groups, wore clothing, used fire and made basic hunting tools
Next was cro-magnum (40,000-10,000 years ago) There cranial features were elongated to allow for a larger brain, more evolved tools and grinding rocks and the developers of religion.
So, really, we are all, well, homo. (Actually, the root "homo" means "man" and the root "sapien" means "being." So, human being.)
And now, modern man living today is called Homo Sapiens.

Get the homosexual mug.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.
