But homosexual is the scientific term. If someone uses it in casual conversation like "oh hey he's a homosexual" I get you, but when it's appropriate there's nothing wrong with it imo.

That's my problem with it is people think its okay to use because it's used in medical literature; the word literally goes back to a time when being gay was seen as a mental disorder and people were killed or institutionalized for it. It's not a good word and its creepy as hell that its still being used by people who aren't gay.
