Do you like the word homosexual?

I think it's fine when used as an adjective but it irritates me when people use it as a noun like "look at those homosexuals".

 

Also, this is a bit weird, but it irks me when people pronounce it h/ŏ/mosexual and not h/oʊ/mosexual (short o instead of a long o) and maybe that's because that's the way older people here say it (and they're more likely to be homophobic).

Generally, I don't have an issue with it. It ultimately just depends on how it's used and the context of the conversation. It can be used innocently, just as it can be used condescendingly—with a negative mindset.
