re: "Homosexual" - I think it's because of the subtext of why they so pointedly stick to that word. They're saying, "Look, I'm very carefully using the technical term so you can't accuse me of using hate speech or being prejudice, therefore it lends credence to my overall statement". It often comes across in that, "I'm saying 'homosexual', but you know what word I'm really thinking" kinda way.
