It is a calm, newspaper-and-law word: it names the pairing, not a person’s whole identity. Someone may also say gay, lesbian, or queer about people; same-sex usually sits in front of couple, marriage, attraction, and so on. It includes two women, not only two men — students sometimes hear only the male picture and miss that.
