    Those to are not interchangeable. The terms homosexual and sexual deviant are 2 entirely different things one is a somewhat common form of attraction the other enjoys being shat on.

      I’d argue that consenting adults can do what they want, the “deviants” are the ones trying to break the covenant of consent.

        The definition of deviant is.

        departing from usual or accepted standards

        I guess both would be as such then

          Words are defined by usage not by dictionary writers. When people use that word to describe other people they use it a pejorative.

            This gets difficult when you interact with strangers on the internet over vast distances. People may say it that way where you are from, but not here, so all we have to call back on is literal definitions of the words

              Do you really think that is what they meant based on what they wrote?

                Who? The top comment? Because yes, I believe they were using the literal definition of the word
