Summary

Introduction

Homosexuality is sexual attraction towards the same sex (Feldmen, 2011). Homosexuality is not just sexual contact between a person and another of the same sex and concerns an individual with a psychological, emotional, and social tendency toward a person of the same sex (Kendall & Hammer, in Nugroho, Siswati, & Sakti 2012). Homosexuality can be interpreted as a strong tendency of one's erotic attractiveness to the same sex. The term homosexual is more commonly used for men who suffer from this deviation, while for women, the same condition is more commonly called "lesbian" (Sadarjoen, 2005). Homosexuality itself consists of two classes, namely lesbian and gay. A lesbian is a woman who satisfies her lover with same sex; homosexual woman (Rahman, 2013). The average homosexual is quite concerned about appearance, and very concerned about what happened to his partner (Ilham, 2012)
