"Practicing" homosexuals? It's a penis, not a clarinet. Really, there's not that much to learn. Though I might have put a bit more work into it if I'd known there was a recital coming up.

I think a better adjective would be "observant." That's the word that divides people who say they're a certain religion from the ones who actually follow through. Lots of folks say they're Catholic, for instance, but only the observant ones actually get down on their knees.
