Homoxesualidad

Introduction

Speaking of homosexuality is very controversial today, either by a trend that has emerged in recent times, or simply greater unveiling of this social minority claimed as human wants.

Homosexuality is a practice known since antiquity; it has been persecuted, tolerated or even recognized, as has happened now with the legalization of gay marriages in European countries. Butdespite this opening of mind and tolerance that has emerged over time, the issue remains controversial every time it goes to the mat, as many companies still show a certain rejection of gay practices.

The word homosexuality derives from latin prefix "homos" as many think, but it is from the Greek "homois" which translates as the same or similar. Because of this, etymologically, homosexual sex wouldbe who has affinity to people of the same sex.

That is why in this paper I try to approach the most interesting and I explain why this issue so controversial. This is why I investigate the theory of its emergence, disease behavior it brings, some myths that have been held for decades, among others.

What is homosexuality?

It called homosexuality to having a sexual orientation, eithererogenous excitement and / or emotional attraction to individuals of the same sex, ie an erotic sexual attraction, romantic and affectionate. The word can be used both for the guidance of men and women, and is known today to gays and lesbians, respectively.

It has been discussed quite if homosexuality can be considered a disease, which has been controversial, because one can be homosexual neurotic, psychotic,psychopathic or normal as heterosexuals. That is why the World Health organization removed from the list of diseases to this sexual condition, and the North American Association of Psychiatry has filed against corrective therapies, which aim to remedy or prevent homosexuality.

There is a differentiation into homosexuality, which is known as:

-Ego dystonic: in this the person has conflicts with hishomosexual, at suffering.

- Ego syntonic: Is in which the person takes it as a lesson and enjoys with her, without feeling some kind of disease.

Because of this we can say that a homosexual, as they are known to people who have this sexual orientation is simply a person with a different sexual orientation to others and holding his convictions as heterosexuals to through marriage or justadventure.

How arises?
Although many investigations have not been made aware of the causes of a person's sexual orientation, but if you have managed to deduce some aspects related to the topic.

Some theories say that sexual orientation is innate in us at birth, although it is not yet known is the role that genetics, experiences during development, the relationship with parents and family, amongothers, in sexual orientation.
