Gay English is called homosexuality, and it is also called "comrade" in China cultural circle. Among them, Gay men are called gay and lesbians are called lesbian. There are some gay lovers, one of whom is masculine, and their name is1; The other side is feminine. They call it 0. Among lesbians, the one who favors men is called T, which means tomboy and "boyish girl"; And femininity is called P, which means "woman". In China, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and abroad, comrades pay little attention to distinguishing roles. For example, in Friends, Ross's wife and Susan are tougher, but their roles are not obvious. In 2004, I read a report about the original author of TheLWorld in the United States in The Economist. Those two girls were also disguised as men. On the other hand, in Chinese mainland, most people tend to distinguish roles, for example, one comrade is real and the other is biased towards the opposite sex. Of course, this is just a general situation, and many, many examples do not follow this general view. In fact, the distinction depends entirely on personal interests, which is not absolutely necessary or impossible. What is the proportion of homosexuality in the total population? Many famous sociologists and sexologists have done different surveys. Here I use a relatively recognized and conservative data: gay men account for 10% of the total number of men, and lesbians account for 6% of the total number of women. Among them, about 6% of men and 3% of women are absolutely gay, that is, they will not have any interest in the opposite sex. The reason why there are fewer same-sex women than men is that women's sexual discovery and enlightenment are more difficult and slower than men's. Of course, this is also related to innate and acquired discoveries: not every comrade can find his own homosexual tendencies. Some of them are bisexual and they are interested in both the same sex and the opposite sex. These people are called BI, which is the prefix of "two" in English. If you count BI, according to some statistics, this ratio is surprisingly high, and the highest even reaches 1/3 of the total population. How is homosexuality formed? I need to emphasize that most homosexuals are born. This is by no means a genetic mutation, nor a metamorphosis, but a normal reversal. In people's traditional thinking, "most men love women, so men should also love women, so it is not normal for men to love men." When you think about it carefully, there is no logical reasoning in the above conventional thinking. This is a typical "naive inductive reasoning", and its essence is purely "feeling". The reality is that most people are heterosexual and a few are gay. This is a normal phenomenon. The so-called "normal" that all people are heterosexual has never appeared in any nation at any time in written records. Homosexuality also exists in nature. Scientists have observed that a certain proportion of primates will prefer the same sex in adolescence, and this preference will be quite high in some species. All these prove that many homosexuals are born. Of course, some homosexuals are anti-gay, which is related to family influence and social atmosphere. The family influence in the early years was quite great. For example, in the army, homosexuality happens occasionally. Social atmosphere will also affect people's sexual orientation. In ancient Greece in the west and Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, it was an era when men paid attention to appearance. Homosexuality was also the most popular at that time. Plato and Socrates in ancient Greece were both homosexuals. In their idea, the love between adult men and young men is more noble than that between men and women. Almost every emperor in Han Dynasty in China had a homosexual lover, and the allusion of "Broken Sleeve Peach Blossom" also came from this. Many poems of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties have homosexual connotations, among which Liu Xiang's Flowers Blooming and Enron Longyang is the most famous, and later Longyang has also become an allusion. But when it comes to the influence of social atmosphere, in fact, the social factors that affect it are not as big as they seem, but a tolerant society makes some comrades go public, while a conservative society makes some comrades choose to hide. Many people are curious about the gay community. What kind of people are they? Generally speaking, they are no different from heterosexual groups, because since this is a natural reversal of "random occurrence", there is no law to follow. But they also have some characteristics: the average intelligence is higher than that of ordinary people (see Ellis survey), and some of them are quite high. Some people have a deep understanding of art, especially music. Among music and art majors, the proportion of homosexuals is higher than other groups. There are countless gay celebrities in history. Sappho, an ancient Greek poetess, lived with her female disciples on Lesbos Island, which is also the origin of lesbos now. Many people don't understand Plato's so-called "spiritual love" because they don't know much about ancient Greek social studies. If you know that it means homosexuality to some extent, it is not difficult to understand. Michelangelo once fell madly in love with a young aristocrat named cavalieri, and their love affair was almost known throughout the city. Is later cavalieri wrote "the seven manifestations of the soul (? I can't remember the name), the composer, cavalieri's father, and the great British philosopher Bacon were considered gay. Wilde was a well-known homosexual. He was in prison for independence. Ludwig II, a gay man who supported Wagner, and the housekeeper both committed suicide by jumping into the river. French writer Cocqueteaux is bisexual. Whitman and Emily Dickinson, great American poets, are almost certainly gay. Many people turn a blind eye to a lot of obvious evidence to support their so-called orthodox position. The same thing happened to Tchaikovsky, the great Russian composer. He was forced to commit suicide because he fell in love with his nephew. But many people in the music and history circles would rather accept the flawed record of his death from cholera. Bernstein, a great conductor as famous as karajan, once lived with his teacher Copland. In addition, the writer Woolf also has this tendency. Foucault, a contemporary French philosopher, was openly gay and died of AIDS. Because of the particularity of this profession, comrades are rare among politicians. What I do know, however, is that the mayor of Tel Aviv, Israel, and an Australian judge (whose name I can't remember) publicly admitted their sexual orientation. Needless to say, in China, the actors of emperors are almost endless. Many people know the story of Gan Long and He Kun, but they don't find the homosexual meaning. You know, emperors and minions, especially eunuchs, have a strong meaning. Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty and Dong Xian left the story of "Broken Sleeves". BrokeBack Mountain deliberately translated English back into "arm" and turned it into Brokeback Mountain, which actually echoed this allusion. During the Republic of China, women's organizations such as Guangzhou Jin Lan Association were also such places of great significance. Speaking of the East, Leslie Cheung and Bai Xianyong, two contemporary people, are openly gay, and their noble personalities have long been respected by the society. Further east, there is a homosexual relationship at Kawabata Yasunari University in Japan. In Yukio Mishima, homosexuality is so obvious that it is exposed. There are still many omissions in writing these from memory, saying that these are not to expose the privacy of celebrities or something. I said, since this is normal, there is no need to hide it. These are as common as birthplaces and schools. (mer)-Homosexuality refers to attracting and/or promoting the sexual orientation of social members with the same gender identity. Homosexuality and homosexual sex are not exactly the same. People who have homosexual sex are not necessarily homosexuals. Homosexuality is common in all ethnic groups, societies and historical stages in the world, but the word "homosexuality" as a modern concept was first put forward by Karl-MariaKertbeny and 1869 in Hungary. This word consists of the prefix homo- (same) and the root sex in Greek. Later, it was widely used by psychiatry. Therefore, in English-speaking countries, homosexuals generally refuse to use this medical term. Homosexuality in China is not as rare as we seem. Now my feeling is "everywhere". Gay men are generally called gay, and lesbians are called les! Moreover, homosexuality has existed in China since ancient times, and it has a fixed title: the addiction of Longyang and the addiction of broken sleeves. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries like this. (1) What is homosexuality? From 65438 to 0973, the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexual behavior from the disease classification system. The definition of homosexuality is amended as: "Homosexuality refers to a person's interest in sex, psychology, emotion and social life, and the main target is people of the same sex, and this interest is not revealed in explicit behavior." (2) Homosexuality is not a disease. 1980 The third edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) no longer ego—dystonichomosexuality as a mental illness, but ego-dystonic homophobia refers to being dissatisfied with one's homosexual orientation and feeling persistent and obvious troubles, which still belongs to sexual psychological disorder. In addition, according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) published by the World Health Organization, it is also noted that "homosexuality" has been cancelled, but "homosexuality with self-identity difficulties" is still included in the disease items. Generally speaking, no matter gay or lesbian, unless he tells you his sexual orientation, a person's sexual orientation is a psychological activity and cannot be judged from his personal behavior. In fact, homosexuality, like heterosexuality, has normal IQ, normal working ability and normal performance, but the object of love is the same-sex person! In other words, as long as people who can identify with their same-sex sexual orientation are the same as normal people, homosexuality is no longer considered as a mental disorder. (3) Same-sex sexual behavior is not equal to homosexuality. In the 1950' s, Dr. Kinsey divided human sexual orientation into seven grades, from 0 to 67, so most people's understanding of homosexuality is often defined by sexual behavior, but there is still a considerable difference between homosexual behavior and homosexuality, because some homosexual behaviors are sporadic and situational. For example, in some cases, he had sex with Paoze in the army to vent his sexual desire, or he had been involuntary in the past. (4) The evaluation and identification of homosexuality may change with time. If the object of sexual fantasy is the same sex, but has never had sexual relations with the same sex, is this situation still recognized as homosexuality? Therefore, members of the sex therapy group conducted in-depth interviews with the semi-structured "homosexuality questionnaire", cooperated with other structured questionnaires, and considered time variables in the evaluation, asking about the past, present and future time of the case.
