Homosexual

A useful neologism, but one that is frequently misunderstood and misused. 1. Most literal meaning -- tending to engage or arouse sexual interest, or imply an erotic connection, by one man for another. 2. Extended meaning, sometimes misused (see Example 2 below): a coded type of homosexual reference invisible to heterosexuals. This is fine as far as it goes, but it should not exclude heterosexuals. 3. Similarly, if used carelessly, "homoerotic" can be misused to imply an environment in which same-sex attraction exists simply because of same-sex affiliation. In other words, a judgment is made regarding sexuality where none should exist, allowing the speaker to practice psychology without a license. 4. Often the butt of malapropisms. Urban Dictionary

Adj. Homosexual love or desire, or something that arouses such loves or desires, not necessarily homosexual in itself, but perhaps just hinting at it. Urban Dictionary

A friendship between to people of the same aligned gender in which both parties have romantic feelings for the other person, but refuse to admit it either out of fear for the future of the friendship, complications with with accepting their sexuality, or both. The friendship then becomes very intense and from an outside perspective the way they truly feel may seem more apparent. Due to the intense nature of the relationship, it can turn very toxic and end up being the thing that tears them apart as these feelings end up being repressed. Additionally, it is no uncommon for these feelings to never be expressed until it is considered "too late". Urban Dictionary
