The terms "heterosexual" and "homosexual" were only coined in the latter 19th century. People have been having sex with each other for much longer than the last two-hundred years (even between members of the same sex), but somehow we made due without needing such terms (which, ironically, are now considered passe by progressives and the cultural avant-garde). I refuse to use them because I refuse to reify what they claim to refer to.
