SEXUAL ORIENTATION
By: Rolex Wheeler Baitin
DEFINITION OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION

 A person's emotional, romantic, and sexual

 attraction to individuals of a particular gender
 (male or female).
SEXUAL ORIENTATION
 Involves a person's feelings and sense of identity


 It may or may not present in the person's
 appearance or behavior

 People may have attractions to people of the
 same or opposite sex, but may choose not to act
 on these feelings
SEXUAL ORIENTATION’S CATEGORIES
 Divided into three main categories


1.   HETEROSEXUAL ORIENTATION

2.   HOMOSEXUAL ORIENTATION

3.   BISEXUAL ORIENTATION
HETEROSEXUAL ORIENTATION
 The romantic, sexual and emotional attraction to
 persons of opposite sex or gender in the gender
 binary.

 Usually, applied to human and also observed in
 mammals.
HOMOSEXUAL ORIENTATION
 Having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions
 to members of one’s own sex.

 GAY- male attracted to another male




 LESBIAN- female attracted to another female
BISEXUAL ORIENTATION


 Having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions
 to both men and women
WHAT CAUSES A PERSON TO HAVE
PARTICULAR SEXUAL ORIENTATION?

 No consensus among scientists about the exact
 reasons that an individual develops a
 heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual orientation.



 Nature and nurture both play complex roles as
 most people experience little or no sense of
 choice about their sexual orientation.
HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS

 Are often more flexible with regard to gender
 roles



 Mostly, face same challenges as heterosexual
 couples in creating satisfying relationships
   Additional challenge of social acceptance, antigay
   discrimination and prejudice
 Lesbians more likely to be monogamous than
 gay men and value emotional intimacy more

 Lesbian sexual interactions tend to have more
 characteristics associated with greater sexual
 enjoyment than heterosexual women’s sexual
 interactions
ISSUES REGARDING SEXUAL
ORIENTATION

 Homophobia


 Discrimination towards homosexual people


 Homosexual families
HOMOPHOBIA
 Homophobia    encompasses a range of negative
 attitudes   and feelings toward homosexuality or
 people who are identified or perceived as being
 lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)



 Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile

 behavior such as discrimination and violence on the
 basis of sexual orientation that are non heterosexual.
DISCIMINATION TOWARDS HOMOSEXUAL
                   PEOPLE
 Been treated as mentally ill and subjected to
    conversion therapies, including electroshock
    treatment
   Been targeted by discriminatory laws, including
    criminal prohibition of same-sex practices
   Not been permitted (until recently) to participate
    openly in the Armed Forces
   Faced discrimination in employment and housing; and
   Been the victims of hate-motivated crimes, anti-gay
    and anti-lesbian violence, and verbal harassment
HOMOSEXUAL FAMILIES

 Children   from   previous   heterosexual   marriage,
 artificial insemination and through surrogate mothers.
 Adoption



 ( Research done specifically on children raised by
  homosexual parents shows that there are no
  differences that suggest any disadvantage
  between them and children raised by
  heterosexual parents )
Views Toward Homosexuality
 Different people have different prospective toward
 homosexuality

 Several countries allow same sex marriage


 ( Netherlands, US, Belgium , Spain, Canada,
 South Africa , Norway, Portugal, Sweden )
