WHAT DOES HOMOSEXUAL MEAN IN SPANISH?

Homosexuality

Homosexuality is a sexual orientation that is defined as the sexual, affective, emotional and sentimental interaction or attraction towards individuals of the same sex. Etymologically, the word homosexual is a hybrid of the Greek homós and the adjective latino sexualis, which suggests a sentimental and sexual relationship between people of the same sex. Gay in Spain is used to refer to homosexual men, and the term lesbian to refer to homosexual women. Since 1973, the international scientific community considers that homosexuality is not a disease, since 1990 by the WHO. However, the legal and social situation of people calling themselves homosexuals varies greatly from country to country and is frequently the subject of controversy. The term homosexual was first used in 1869 by Karl-Maria Kertbeny, but it was the book Psychopathia Sexualis by Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing that popularized the concept in 1886.
