“
Heterosexual” was actually coined in a letter at the same time as the word “homosexual,” [in the mid-19th century], by an Austro-Hungarian journalist named Károly Mária Kertbeny. He created these words as part of his response to a piece of Prussian legislation that made same-sex erotic behavior illegal, even in cases where the identical act performed by a man and a woman would be considered legal. And he was one of a couple of people who did a lot of writing and campaigning and pamphleteering to try to change legal opinion on that matter. He coined the words “heterosexual” and “homosexual” in a really very clever bid to try to equalize same-sex and different-sex…to suggest that there are these two categories… were not part of a hierarchy, that they were just two different flavors of the same thing. ”

How “heterosexual” got its start – basically, as protest against discriminatory legislature on same-sex love. (via curiositycounts)
IIRC, and I haven’t read the book in YEARS….
Doesn’t Susan Kay’s Erik use the word “homosexual”? I remember some conversation about how that wouldn’t have been a word he would have used at the time. But it looks like maybe he would have?
