Blue, what you meant was 2 homosexuals. It's a perfectly good anglo saxon word, in the Oxford dictionary. It means a man who enjoy sex with other men. What is wrong with the word?
I have a pal who works for a major construction company and every time he goes to one of these PC "Inclusivity" meetings and one of the pinko tutors says Gay, he says, "Do you mean happy or do you mean homosexual, because when I was growing up my mother told me gay meant happy? Are you telling me my mother was wrong?"
They hate it but he has never backed down and they know there is absolutely nothing they can do about it because homosexual is the correct word. (Mind you, most of the tutors on these courses are of the same persuasion, male and female)
