Terminology of homosexuality
The terminology of homosexuality has been a contentious issue since the emergence of homosexual social movements in the mid-19th century. As with racial terms in the United States such as negro, black, colored and African American, the choice of terms regarding sexual orientation may imply a certain political outlook, and different terms have been preferred at different moments in history and in different places.
