Homosexual is slang for queer. Queer means: off center, weird, odd, unwell. Synonym to queer is strange.
According to the Wiki Dictionary, Gay in the sense of homosexual (first recorded in 1951) was shortened from earlier gay cat 'homosexual boy' in underworld and prison slang, itself first attested about 1935, but used earlier for a young tramp or hobo attached to an older one.
People attracted sexually to members of their own gender are at the very least a bit odd, weird, off center. As a mule is odd and cannot reproduce after its own kind neither can gay people reproduce after their own kind. They must rely on another oddity. That in itself is odd.
How do you explain a male being sexually attracted to a male who acts and attempts to look like a female or a female being sexually attracted to a female who acts and attempts to look like a male.
They are queer. They should not be mistreated because of their queerness but there is no denying they are a bit odd. Anyone who has ever seen a female impersonator doing burlesque understands those folks are a bit strange.
