- "Homosexuality" is a clinical term. Most male homosexuals generally prefer to be called "gay men" and most homosexual women generally prefer to be called "lesbians." Much of the prejudice against lesbians and gay men is based on stereotypes and lack of information. Due to our socialization and fear of the unknown, people who are different from the majority can be perceived as threatening. Homosexuality is one of the serious social problem then growing rapidly through the world. According The Kinsey Institute research, conducted in the 1940's and 1950's, suggests that approximately 10% of the population is lesbian or gay. Beside that, Though some researchers believe this estimate to be too high or too low, it is safe to assume that lesbians and gay men constitute a significant minority group. Consequently, even though we may not be aware of their sexual orientation, most of us know someone who is lesbian or gay. The vast majority of lesbians and gay men remain "in the closet" - that is, they reveal their sexual orientation to only a few trusted friends.
The Homosexuality is a very serious problem in America and other western country. so, i think can add some short story or example about homosexual at all world at our introduction, but cant find any article about it, how about my group member??
