The word “homosexuality” is currently tending on Twitter and nobody seems to know why.The term itself is dated and usually best to avoid.
GLAAD explains it as such:Please use gay or lesbian [instead of ‘homosexual’] to describe people attracted to members of the same sex.
Because of the clinical history of the word “homosexual,” it is aggressively used by anti-gay extremists to suggest that gay people are somehow diseased or psychologically/emotionally disordered – notions discredited by the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association in the 1970s.
