100% of the participants are gay, but it's between opposite sexes, so is it heterosexual?

This happens in the movie The Wedding Banquet

Having sex is gay

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Remember, it's not gay if both dudes are straight....

Nah, in all seriousness, I think it would be heterosexual sex between two gay people? Idk. I suppose there is the ACT of heterosexual sex and then the identity of the individuals as hetero/gay/bi/whatever. So yea, in this case, heterosexual sex between 2 people that are gay. That's all there is to it.

Hey everyone in the comments, you seem to be experts on the terminology

Care to explain this comic to me? Oglaf: Memory (NSFW)

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Are these two comics, or one comic where they turn into cats halfway through

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

One. They are just cat suits. Also, I think the characters never appear before or since so there is no context that can help.

My best guess is that the "hetero" part is her providing makeup and costumes (including the mouse to be thrown up) while the "homo" part is the singing...

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Hetero - from the Greek ἕτερος meaning different or other

Homo - from the Greek ὁμός meaning same

Irregardless of the orientation of the people involved, if its two different gendered people having intercourse it's heterosexual intercourse. It just wouldn't be any fun for the people involved.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net -1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I can tell from the comments that nobody has actually been in this situation.

And the answer, is that it's queer, not straight.

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

Sounds bi to me

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago
[–] Microw@lemm.ee 6 points 16 hours ago

I'd say sexual intercourse in itself can't be homo- or heterosexual since that is a denomitor for people's sexual attractions.

The sexual intercourse would simply be male-female sex.

[–] darkishgrey@lemmy.world 108 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe the sex would he heterosexual, but the parties would still be homosexual. This happened a lot in lavender marriages. The fact they had sex to produce children didn't change their sexuality.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Similarly, e.g. two bi men getting married is a gay wedding, even though neither party is gay. The relationship can be described independently of the people in it.

[–] FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago

I think that's why we call it "same-sex marriage" rather than "gay marriage"

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 14 points 19 hours ago

Just like when two straight men have sex?

It's also how gay people reproduce.

A third person watches and is Become Gay, Destroyer of Sphincters.

But if a baby results, it's hermaphroditic.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What if that person is gay already, does he become super gay?

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Super gay, or gay^2^, yassified.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Combine all these together, and you have "ultimate gay" actually, that's the kind of Marvel movie I would like to watch.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I was hoping you'd say Cap'n Gay.

It was my pleasure!

I've wondered the same thing when I was twelve, but eventually I grew up to realise that it was a stupid question.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sir, this is a shitposting forum.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago

I get confused sometimes

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

You know it's not a great question but it's better to ask in a relatively safe environment than to make assumptions.

[–] semisimian@startrek.website 7 points 22 hours ago

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

they just happened to meet in a closet

[–] moxlas@discuss.online 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Homo - same sex intercourse, hetero - man and woman having sex. Their orientation won't make intercourse gay, it's between different sexes so the act itself is heterosexual.

[–] josefo@leminal.space 2 points 8 hours ago

Nowadays hetero has been redefined to better reflect gender diversity. Homo is same gender, hetero is different genders, even if the gender are not man and woman. This includes non-binary people in the definition, as long as they are not the same gender, is not homosexual. And to be honest, it ties better to the word, etymologically.

Also bisexual now means homo and hetero, not men and women. I'm still confused about pansexuality in this definitions. I also might have got something wrong in this explanation as I'm a cis straight dude, who listens to other people saying this things.

An act of intercourse. But yeah what is life?

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago

They might. Sexuality is a spectrum.
