My sister's a lesbian, I'm a poof- the whole family is
gay! (actually, I don't have a sister)
ObConlangQuestion: How would you express this in your
conlangs? >>

Vya:a:h ( _vy_ = "one" + _a:a:h_ = "language") will be
the mother tongue and most essential to a series of
artlangs belonging to a separate galaxy (Vaa:vy'yy)
in which all people are enlightened and realize that
homosexuality/bisexuality are natural, hence nearly
100% of the population homosexual.
In this way, simple concepts like love/marriage/sex
instantly connote 'between same gender.'
(A note in passing -- as nearly 100% of this world are
acknowledged & practicing homosexuals, the function of
heterosexual activity will be predominantly in order
to procreate -- hence, male-female relations always
connotes the participates' wish to have children!)

Thus:
Vya:a:hn word for "man" is _theiL_, but when we add
_a:a:L_ to indicate "in order to (do s.t.)," then the
noun "man" becomes the verb "to be intimate (for gay
males only).  Likewise, Vya:a:hn word for "woman" is
_rrhauxL_, but when we add _a:a:L_ to indicate "in
order to (do s.t.)" then the noun "woman" becomes the
verb "to be intimate (for lesbians only)".

*NB, I use _L_ in Vya:a:hn words to represent the
sound _i_ as in English word "it" -- not like Romance
"i".  I still haven't figured out the SAMPA symbols
enough to use them!  Anyhow, _th_ resembles _th_ of
English word "think" and _ei_ said like Romance
languages would.  Note that _th_ and _ei_ and _L_ are
each one letter in Vya:a:h.  In the Vya:a:h script,
every word is written a bit like Hangul (although not
the same):  all words must be consisted of 3 letters
(or sound elements) and written in an inverted
triangle (the symbol of homosexuals).

   e.g.  _theiL_  ---->     ei   th
                               L

And, of course, first sound element is written always
in top right corner then second in top left, finally
last sound in bottom middle.

At any rate, that's how I handled the concept of
homosexuality.  Suppose I'll have trouble coining
Vya:a:hn for the concept of heterosexuality!  Any
thoughts?
