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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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

    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.

      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.
