Abstract

Human sexuality is a complex issue that acknowledges the varying dimensions of behavior, desire, and identity. The complexity of these issues is evidenced by the fact that they may not always be congruent in people. Some of the factors that contribute to this include bisexuality, identity confusion, and the dual roles of gender and biological sex. Both psychiatry and medicine use terms such as heterosexuality, transsexuality, and homosexuality to refer to various issues. On the other hand, the current social usage of these terms focuses on the identities of individuals who are gay or lesbian. Many people believe that most people are only referring to homosexuals as stereotypes. The most widely held image of a homosexual is usually a man or a woman who is either effeminate or tomboyish. Unfortunately, the entertainment media has contributed to this misunderstanding by making these stereotypes into something that is always good to laugh about.
