Pink, your rigid definitions of gender seem to be confining your definition of homosexuality. Define sex (as in either male or female), then we can get an accurate definition of homosexuality.
The truth is that the line between male and female isn't clearly cut. If you rely on chromosomes to define male and female, then you're forgetting about people with XXY chromosomes, or people with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Someone with androgen insensitivity syndrome has XY male chromosomes, but the physical appearance and psychological identification of a female - however, they lack a womb and are infertile. Is a man who has intercourse with someone with AIS a homosexual? If you rely on physical characteristics only, then you're ignoring those with AIS, as well as intersexed people born with ambiguous genitalia.
These variations within something as simple as gender leads the logical thought that the same aberrations occur within sexuality, as science is only just beginning to discover.
Note: people with androgen insensitivity syndrome always have the appearance of a female, and the instance of sexual attraction to other females among these people is 0%. Scientists believe this is because there has been absolutely no exposure to testosterone, so the brain, along with the body, develops as a female while inside the womb, despite having male chromosomes.
