Homos Male/Female roles?

[Sandform]

Ok so I guess the title was written wrongly. It could mislead you to think that I'm talking about the roles a couple has with each other. What I mean is Male/Female roles that people consider homosexual people to carry in today's society. Alright so most of DV is civilized so I can't really ask my target audience but... I have been seeing people refer to homosexual men as acting like women, and women acting like men. I've never really thought about it like this, I just thought of them as acting like who they are. To me there is a HUGE difference between even effeminate men or "butch" women between acting like a man or acting like a woman. Now the case that they mean when they say a homosexual is acting like a man or woman is the sexual portion of it. At least I'm assuming that is what they are saying. Anyway point of thread? Do you think of homosexual people as trying to be like the opposite sex?
