Chicano Men

This reading is really interesting and made me realize something that I never even thought about. According to the reading, Chicano men who are involved in homosexual activity but plays the "inserting" role rather than "passive" role of receiving, the men is not considered as "joto or puto".
But Does this mean that they are not considered homosexual? although they do involve in sexual intercourse with same sex? just because he is performing a same activity he would to a woman, does that exclude him from being labeled as a gay man?
Even with explanations of their cultural impact on the issue, I cannot find myself to agree with this perception they have.
He (who is involved in anal intercourse with men) is clearly attracted to his partner who is also a male, and how does this not make people think both of them as homosexuals or maybe bisexuals?
