→Who's gay?
Can you help me define terms like "[[homosexual]]"? There seems to be an idea that [[men who have sex with men]] do not necessarily "have a [[homosexual identity]]" or "do not consider themselves homosexual". What does this mean? Is it mere [[denial]], or what? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 22:15, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

:It means these people don't wish to define themselves as homosexual, and don't want to be associated with any stereotypes that come with it. "Men who have sex with men" are just that, nothing more. Perhaps they resent being associated with more flamboyant gays, or maybe they reject labeling altogether. I can understand the sentiment. --[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 23:20, 25 October 2011 (EDT)
