NounSingular homosexuality Plural homosexualities homosexuality (plural homosexualities)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Homosexuality refers to sexual attraction or sexual behavior between people of the same sex, or to a sexual orientation. As an orientation, homosexuality refers to "an enduring pattern of or disposition to experience sexual, affectional, or romantic attractions primarily to" people of the same sex; "it also refers to an individual’s sense of personal and social identity based on those attractions, behaviors expressing them, and membership in a community of others who share them." Homosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation, along with bisexuality and heterosexuality, within the heterosexual-homosexual continuum. The most common modern terms for homosexual people are lesbian for women and gay for men although some prefer other terms or no indicators of sexual identity. The number of people who identify as homosexual — and the proportion of people who have same-sex sexual experiences — are difficult for researchers to estimate reliably for a variety of reasons. In the modern West, major studies indicate a prevalence of 2% to 13% of the population. A 2006 study suggested that 20% of the population anonymously reported some homosexual feelings, although relatively few participants in the study identified themselves as homosexual. Homosexual relationships and acts have been admired as well as condemned throughout recorded history, depending on the form they took and the culture in which they occurred. Since the Stonewall riots in 1969, widely considered the start of the modern LGBT rights movement, there has been increased visibility, recognition and legal rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, including the rights to marriage and civil unions, adoption and parenting, employment, military service, and equal access to health care.

GNU Free Documentation License How do homosexuals view those men who have been cured from homosexuality? Q. Hi, How do gay men view other men who have been cured from being gay. Many gay people do not see homosexuality as a disease in order for it to be something requiring medication or cure; but how do homosexual people feel towards those that were gay and say that they were "Cured"? Apparently, these men are now happily married with a nice family. Thanks everyone for your answers. I really appreciate that.

I think they still have gay feelings but are just repressing them. It will surface from time to time, and eventually they will be miserable and unhappy. You cannot keep living a lie for long, eventually it will catch up to you. Answered by DakotabearII - Thu Jan 22 12:35:05 2009 What scientific evidence is there that homosexuality is not unhealthy? Q. After much researching in scientific journals and online searches I have not found any scientific evidence showing that homosexuality is healthy. The evidence I have seen shows that a homosexual lifestyle results in physical, psychological, and social disorders, yet I often see claims that a homosexual lifestyle does not produce these results. I am looking for anyone to share any scientific study they know of that shows a homosexual lifestyle resulting in a non-negative impact on a persons health. Asked by Ratiocinative - Sat May 17 00:35:01 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. There aren't any scientific facts, but why does it matter? Don't think that science can provide comfort for you because most of it is all theory anyways. I would just accept it as it is. If you feel this way, then it obviously is natural and healthy--don't let people tell you otherwise. Friedrich Nietzsche, who is an excellent philosopher whom I will recommend rigourously to you, once said "All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth" You see: people who tell you it's not natural to be gay are only living in their own , self made-up world. You can define what is and is not natural and healthy for yourself. Maybe it's good to think about what does/does not… [cont.] Answered by rsolcz - Mon May 19 03:52:53 2008 LGBT's: Do You Think Male Homosexuality Is Focused on and Condemned More Because of Sexism against women?
Q. Do you think male sexuality is looked down on more than lesbianism because society views masculinity and males as more valuable? Because male homosexuality is seen as "unmasculine" and therefore a threat to society. Even "ex-gay" focus a lot more on gay men than lesbians. And most of the scientific studies trying to find the cause of homosexuality focuses much more on gay men. What do you think? Asked by Sunlight - Fri Sep 5 17:29:37 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think it has to de with the fact that society views two women together.Either as a sexual turn on or as non threatening agree with you that male homosexuality is viewed more negatively.But on a grander scale lesbians are often sexually assaulted because of their sexual orientation,women as a whole are far more accepting of people who are different than are males.I believe this has to do with the innate need to love a child even if it has been born handicapped.With that hardwired into us it is easier for a woman to accept a male who is gay than it is for another man to accept that same gay male.Not saying that women are better we are just more loving and sensitive.
