      There are more gay Germans than Straight Germans, but many are in the closet still. But they decided it was just easier.

        We could always choose to unify the prefixes. We have pansexual which is a Greek prefix but bisexual which is a Latin prefix. If we swap it for Greek it becomes disexual. That implies a grouping of straight, gay, and lesbian as either monosexuals (Greek) or unisexuals (Latin) which I don’t think I’ve ever seen used.

        Looking at this table on Wikipedia you could come up with some funny (and nonsensical) derivations en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix
