Well, I am not drawing a boundary between *homosexual act* and *homosexual
identity*. For me, homosexual is someone who feels emotional and sexual ties to 
the
opposite sex. So, fucking is already part of this definition. _You_ are drawing 
the
boundary by separating *fucking* from *identity*. You told Anthony that
homosexuality/heterosexuality "refer to sexual _identities_, not sexual _acts_."
What do you mean by homosexual identity? Can you _define_?
