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

    If a gay man orders 15 kilos of potatoes online through 4g network while he travels by train between Amsterdam and Paris with an average speed of 130km/h, how many liters of Fanta does he drink?

    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.

      Ya this is so convoluted and I feel like there are several jokes that are supposed to be obvious here. Usually the joke in this kind of stuff is the absurdity of the entire thing.

        One. They are just cat suits. Also, I think the characters never appear before or since so there is no context that can help.

        My best guess is that the “hetero” part is her providing makeup and costumes (including the mouse to be thrown up) while the “homo” part is the singing…

          What I’m getting that is hetero girl-on-girl is somewhat performative and passive, instead of the hardcore fucking expected by the red-haired lesbian (hence “the lesbian”), as indicated by her response that she (the lesbian) would be doing all the work and her accepting the claim that the “straight” black-haired woman (hence “the straight”) will be doing makeup as her (the straight’s) hetero part of the hetero-homo sex-exchange. The second half is the absurdist punchline in the execution. Movie-level cosmetics, including realistic amounts of hair – enough to create a hairball during unknown forms of oralplay, presumably provided by the straight. And a dogged insistence from the lesbian that dislodging a hairball not end the sexual encounter, which required continuous singing. Perhaps it was a sexual rendition of the musical “Cats”, further tying in existing stereotypes of queer people and their relation with/affinity to theater and the fine arts.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
