Notes

The issue to be addressed is how homosexuality has become one of the most latent issues in these times and is becoming a new way of life more accepted and recognized.

In this essay, three authors, Sigmund Freund, DJWest and T. Parsons, with their respective theories and the arguments treated from the point of view of how discrimination affects this tendency and the positions of theories, Transcended this issue from ancient Greece to our days, where it is possible to understand how we are leaving more side of the issue of homophobia and discrimination a clear example is seen how in several countries has been legalized gay marriage in the case of Latin America And three countries have become one of the most recent Brazil.

In addition, reference is made to the complementary reading which returns from the book of sociology the chapter of the family and the chapter of sexuality and gender identity, to address this issue more and bring the subject to everyday life and how it influences one way or another in our lives.
To start this topic you need to know What is homosexuality? This concept refers to the attraction of the same sex, to which this sexual deviation carries multiple prejudices, discriminations and uncertainties. This concept becomes more and more latent in these days since there is a greater conception of the subject throughout several countries where it has been conceptualized mainly and it has made reference to foment this way life, with respect to the marriage between homosexual couples is Has installed in different countries. The State of Chile in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on the part of the Homosexual Liberation Movement is in favor of homosexual couples who try to contract the intimate but not so marital bond. Nevertheless, the subject is in conversation and debate to legalize this bond of marriage.

In Latin America around three countries homosexual marriage has been legalized, as is Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil, in which it is stated that people have a free choice to choose their partner, being supported by the country and leaving aside the discrimination, tolerating a Development of free and unprejudiced sexuality.

This reality is increasingly present and each culture has its own vision can be with greater acceptance or failing, you see homosexual couples as a true sample of discrimination and generating false prejudices that are transcending a repressed society and that People with these tendencies are not able to assume their sexual preference.

Going back to see the origin or past times I can mention, that homosexuality does not have a start date, has been present since very remote times. For example, in ancient Greece homosexual relationships between a young man and an older man were normal, considering that at that time man was considered a perfect being and it was normal to fall in love with another man. However, it should be noted that the relations between women at that time were poorly seen because women were considered only for reproduction, also generating an inequality.

In the religious context of those times, from the Middle Ages homosexuality was seen by the Catholic Church as something unusual and that was not with what God dictated, rather it was considered a case of heresy and was punished with torture and grief Of death, usually at the stake, appealing to it as a sin.

To what today no longer see such facts, but still this trend is not accepted since in the religious field is followed by a largely wrong view, in addition that the position of religion is very rigid and guided by what God establishes.

But how does this affect our lives ?, this conception is affected by the fact that it is not something far from our environment since, more than any of us have acquaintances, family or friends who share this tendency and we would not like to see As they would be involved in an act of discrimination or ill-treatment.

In conjunction with the above argument I refer to an author who mentions this position of homosexuality, Sigmund Freud considers "... homosexuality as a variation of sexual function, originated by a detention of sexual development, what does that mean? Basically that the homosexuality originates by an interruption in the development of the infant that is originated by environmental or psycho-cognitive factors ... "

This author reflects on the fact that homosexuality is not a disease or a neurotic problem, theories proposed by Freud establishes that homosexuality occurs from various events that an individual suffers in the stages of psychosexual development, where heterosexual maturity does not occur To an impact in one of these stages, in which the author mentions that the people who maintain these inclinations for the same sex is because they did not complete well some stage or they were caught in the stage of childhood, this point of view of the author to me Criterion I do not consider it as a fact of the beginning of this inclination, but they influence more by other emotional factors, physical attraction, it is the same psychological therefore, each individual alludes to his own way of seeing this reality and in culture In which this one is, it is possible to emphasize that Freud defends this position not like a disease, but they influence factors that did not develop in one way or another at some stage of human development.

Following this theme I refer to another position of an author who is a psychologist, and English researcher D.J.West considers that are three theories the most generalized interpretations of the vulgar on the causes of homosexuality. West, refers to the theorists who call the homosexual tendencies as unnatural, to which they have adjudicated, without being able to prove it.

To which West makes reference to Theories of the vulgar on the origin of the homosexuality.

In the first instance this Perversion is considered in which the individual would adopt homosexuality as any vice. But the fundamental error that the vicious one deliberately chooses the deviation that most ambitions him, while the homosexual can not develop normal sexual behavior even if he proposes it, since still achieving heterosexual acts will hardly eliminate his deepest homosexual desires.

West's second theory is Seduction as he mentions that an individual may have conscious homoerotic desires for the first time, stimulated by a person of the same sex who set out to seduce him, such seduction may explain only that it begins in homosexual practices.

An isolated incident of this nature can not explain permanent homosexuality, which in most cases is also exclusive, ie not compatible with heterosexual activities.

The third theory is the segregation mentioned, those who share a place where they live together among single men, without contact with women, or vice versa, women raised without contact with men, initiate sexual practices that would mark them forever.
