You answered with an assured and unambiguous, "Of course they are." 

To what, then, were you referring in your very concrete response?

Do you not agree "homosexual acts" are by definition acts by homosexuals only and that if one is not a homosexual, one cannot commit a "homosexual act"? 

I'll ask both you and Jim, what, if any, relevance does this have for opposite sex couples who by definition cannot perform homosexual acts? i hope this discussion has not eroded into "mechanics" judgments about how heterosexuals love each other.
