What Is A Homosexual?

In the church, you'll hear every so often an opinion about homosexuals.   "Homosexuality...", "Gay people...",  "I think so and so is gay.... ", "This is why gays should not be able to (fill in blank)"....   People use the word homosexual, and with it comes a lot of assumptions about the people behind the word.  So I want to ask my fellow parishoners and our esteemed clergy a question:

What is a homosexual?

Is a homosexual a man:  a man who has sex with men?  Constantly and insatiably?  Is a homosexual a man whose sole desire is the penetration of other men, at whatever cost?  And not just one man, but any and every man: At work, at school and on the battlefield?   Is a homosexual attracted to every man on the planet?   Is every man God's gift to the homosexual man?

Does a homosexual man reject gender roles?   Does he eat fancy foods and live in a big house?  Will a homosexual man eventually get a dog?  Is the dog of the homosexual man exposed to the daily episodes of rampant gay sex and golden girls re-runs?   Is the dog of the homosexual man well fed or abused or is he simply an innocent victim?

Is a homosexual man a weirdo?   Is a homosexual man ignorant to societal rules, and constantly on the fringe of what is normal?   Does the homosexual man hate normality?    If normalcy is natural and humans are nature, then does the homosexual man hate what is natural, and therefore hate others as himself?
