From their glossary:

HOMOSEXUAL
This might be considered a more medical term used to describe someone who has a romantic and/or sexual orientation towards someone of the same gender. The term ‘gay’ is now more generally used.

It is amazing that Stonewall claim not to believe in same-sex attraction these days (although nearly all of them will believe it in private and particularly would accept nothing other than that in their relatiohnships).

It makes me think of when David Jenkins was consecrated as Bishop of Durham and caused a massive fuss by questioning the literal truth of some miracles in the Bible. You'd have thought there'd have been a similarly massive fuss in Stonewall.

Its worse than that...

If their definition is based on how people identify rather than their actual sex:

Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination and violence on the basis of sexual orientations that are non-heterosexual. Recognized types of homophobia include institutionalized homophobia, e.g. religious homophobia and state-sponsored homophobia, and internalized homophobia, experienced by people who have same-sex attractions, regardless of how they identify.

Yep its been that way for a while.

Another example of how egging people on and being egged on by others always results in eventually having to follow things through to their logical conclusion even when that loses you credibility and respect and money/custom .

Perfect example of why we need boundaries and how saying no might have been "kinder" in the long run.

I still smile at the discussion of 69 and the wave of deletions that caused in FWR.

Stonewall haven’t believed in same-sex attraction for years now . They’ve gone from fighting for LGB to fighting against us - they’re essentially a bunch of misogynistic homophobes. Or homophobic misogynists, take your pick.

Yep. To be blunt, according to them, lesbian sex can be two males giving each other fellatio, PIV sex between a male and a female or two women.

Anything, in fact. Likewise any other sexual orientation.

It's good to have an authority on made up stuff.
