Moved article
[edit]Started article Same Sex Attraction but did not realize there already was this file location b4 someone else told me. pasted article content into here (which included content from myself and another editor) with a redirect from the earlier location (which it was at for a whole of like 1-2 hours...) -- User0529 (talk) 07:02, 13 June 2008 (UTC) edit 15:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Status as independent article

- I think this does have actual encyclopedic value as it describes a specific concept and isn't just a euphemism for homosexual. After thinking about it though, maybe it would belong better as a section in a larger article (if it were to remain at stub status for a long time).
- It does appears as a sub-section in Straight-acting, however the article is about acting straight— whereas SSA has nothign to do with that actually. Same gender loving, Down-low (slang), Same-sex attraction, maybe even banjee... are more than just ways of acting not-gay or being "closeted", they are unique ways of being homosexual/bisexual. --User0529 (talk) 15:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC) (edited 01:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC))
Inaccurate?
[edit]The article reads, 'The term differs from sexual orientation labels in that it refers to the attraction itself and not necessarily to a fixed sexual identity or orientation.' I don't think it's true that the term homosexual necessarily refers to a fixed sexual identity or orientation, so this seems very misleading. A neutrality disputed tag might be necessary here. Also, the 'Homosexuality and Christianity' category seems wrong - the article doesn't even mention Christianity. Skoojal (talk) 10:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Redirect Needed
[edit]I don't know how to set up a redirect but one is needed to redirect "Same Sex Attraction" to Same-sex attraction. Thank you - Markworthen (talk) 18:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
