I think it is the terminology that is throwing me.A homosexual is defined as a person who engages in homosexual acts--that is what puts the sex in the word.

If a homosexual quits having homosexual acts then they are not a homosexual any more.
adj. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.

I'm a heterosexual even when I'm not having sex with women, and several of my friends are homosexuals even when they aren't seeing anybody.

Homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual; (when referring to people) these are terms relating to orientation, not action.

Thanks again FFT.

I'm confounded by the lack of understanding of the definitional basics.

ho·mo·sex·u·al (hō'mə-sěk'shōō-əl, -mō-) Pronunciation Key
adj. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
