Bisexuality

to say which is normal and which is “natural”? Of course as Alfred Kinsey proposed that “sexual orientation is believed to exist on a continuum that ranges from exclusive heterosexuality to exclusive homosexuality and includes various forms of bisexuality.” When did it become necessary on placing labels on people for what they were attracted and where society placed them on that continuum?

homosexual, or bisexual. The United States has become more open and accepting of others that are not heterosexual oriented and this, in turn, has caused this identity marker to become a more relevant part of people’s lives. Because homosexuality and bisexuality are just in the beginning stages of being culturally accepted, people who are heterosexual, or straight, are more privileged and accepted. Any person that identifies as homosexual, bisexual, or transgender is part of the marginalized group and has

emotional, and sexual attraction to a particular sex. Sexual orientation is typically divided into four categories: heterosexuality, the attraction to individuals of the other sex; homosexuality, the attraction to individuals of the same sex; bisexuality, the attraction to individuals of either sex; and asexuality, no attraction to either sex. The Kinsey scale developed by Alfred Kinsey was used in research to describe a person’s sexual orientation based on their experience or response given at

I think the celebration of LGBT identities in Amsterdam from the article "Gay Men and Lesbians in the Netherlands" by Gert Hekma and Jan Willem Duyvendak to the movie we watched was an interesting look at LGBT struggles (or lack of struggles) and identities found in the Netherlands in comparison to the United States. At first glance, from both the movie and the article, Amsterdam just seems like a wild, amazing time for people of all sexualities. Equality has been reached. Hallelujah! Let's party

In order to compare and contrast the different readings from this semester I want to start from the beginning. Gender is an achieved status in which is constructed through psychological, cultural, and social means (West 1987). Instead of solely depending on your biology, which is considered your sex, gender is performed in interactions. Almost every interaction that someone encounters is relevant to his or her gender. Gender can be the degree in which someone can describe himself or herself as masculine

Homosexual A Choice? Do people choose to be gay, is it biological, or is there some other explanation? People have their own thoughts on homosexuality. Some people think that being homosexual is a choice, while others argue it’s not a choice. Bisexuality is a choice. Personally, I do not have a problem either way. I would like to try and answer the questions "Is it a choice?" and "What causes homosexuality?" Brief History of Homosexuality. The term ‘homosexuality’ was coined in the late 19th

In the book, Moore recommends that most lesbian ladies fall into 3 classifications of introduction of self. One is femme (ladylike), sexual orientation blender (female-introducing bisexuality), and transgressive (manly). Moore clarify the significance of social explanation in how Black ladies pick both their open and private introduction of self. In any case, the principle concern ought to be about how people express their identity as

Whether you believe it or not, every single person excluding no one is born with a sexual orientation. Most may have grown up in a family where you just knew that a man was supposed to be with a woman, and no one questioned it because it was “normal”. Then we have some people in society who were adopted by families all a crossed the world who found themselves in a home where the parents were of the same sex. We find again that we asked no questions because it was “normal”. Americans find themselves

Ellen Degeneres is known for making one of the biggest changes in the world. Ellen among other several other people fought for what they believed was right. They were fighting for freedom of the same sex marriage, transgender issues and bisexuality issues in the world. We should care about this topic because everybody should have the right to marry or be with the one person they love and we don't have to be all judgmental about it, we have to be supportive to these people. Ellen Degeneres is a very

In recent years, there has been an extraordinary amount of discussion on whether same sex relationships and marriage is ‘wrong’. Many people around the world have an opinion on this subject, with some forming strong judgments against those who disagree with them. As this is a heavily discussed topic, few have no preference to legalisation or not. Dr Martin Luther King Jr said “marriage is a basic human right. You cannot tell people they cannot fall in love,” although he said this referring to mixed
