What is Homosexuality

I come from one field that is very interested in the meaning of words, both where they came from and where they are going.  I am now in a field that is very concerned with understanding how people think about things so we can use that to our advantage.  Because of my background, and my analytical nature, I tend to analyze things, a lot.  I am not alone in this.  There are whole professions who do nothing but analyze.  From soil science to marketing intelligence, everyone wants to understand exactly what it is we’re all talking about.

Thing is, no one ever wants to have a conversation about homosexuality. 

Origins

I’m not entirely sure that the origin of homosexuality is that important.  I find that obsession about the cause of something is often cloaked in the idea that in order to solve a problem you have to understand how it came to be.  In some cases, it is important to understand the origin of something to effectively deal with it.  In the case of homosexual desire, I don’t think this is the case.
