HoW mUCh yoU KnOw About GAY?

It’s a said that if there are people there will be problem, people who acknowledge them as civilized try hard to seek and perform justice and fairness. However even under Law and legal there always existing of unfairness and unequal situation. There’s always complains regarding to people affected by labor market discriminations such as national minorities, ethnic, women, and disabled workers, as well as religious and sexual minorities. These people usually will be facing unfavorable labor market outcomes, and these unfavorable outcomes usually can be identified through differential earning wages, promoting opportunities and even through hiring procedures.

The world is undergoing a rapid change of traditional religious to a modern cultural norm values society. Dyke can be said is a new fact that being subjected in interest of questions and debates over in the developed countries such as the United State of America, and England. Especially the heat of the gay right movements are increasing day by days, as they are seeking for acceptance, tolerance and equal opportunities in these societies.

A brief historical, different cultural and different religious, biological, psychological and the view of nature and nurture background of lesbians in the world is to be described as follows. However the issue regarding to the lesbian history should be separated from the gay male history need to be considered. Basically we would want to specify lesbian history from the large overview of queer history but there are some difficulties of doing so especially from the ancient homosexual history because the ancient history is really controversy over male rather than female.

Homosexual is a word literally to translate “same-sex sex” that is taken from the words of Greek and Latin. However the word homosexual today has been referring to a sexual desire, sexual orientation characterized by aesthetic attraction, and romantic love that exclusively only towards members of the same gender identity.

As from a well known historical perspective, of which we known that the word lesbian is derived from an island called Isle of Lesbo. This development is indirectly influenced by poems of Sappho of Mytilene, who was born around the time of 612 B.C and the daughter of Scamandronymus and Cleia in Isle of Lesbos. As Sappho used an ancient Greek dialect called lesbian language that belongs to the Aeolic group to write poetry that was celebrating the love between women.

However the truth is nobody really knows the exactly time, place and the first person to fall in love with the other same-sex person. There is rumor that encounters Alexander the Great is gay because he loved his best friend Hephaestion more than his wife Roxane but the Greeks defend that Alexander the Great isn’t gay. Alexander the Great has passed away so long ago that didn’t left any evident to prove that he is or he is not gay.

Today there are many terms that can be used to interpreted homosexuals. First, there was the term "homosexual," then "gay" and "lesbian," then the once taboo "dyke" and "queer." But now as the expanding for the universe of gender and sexual identities, we got “gender queer” who are those that doesn't fit into the binary male-female system, “trannydyke” are those people that are different gender than the one assigned at birth as well as “boi” that refer to a biological female with a male presentation.
