AM I GAY?

प्यार, शादी और सेक्स को लेकर आमतौर पर हमारी सोच बहुत सीमित होती है। समाज के बीच मान्य सिद्धांत के मुताबिक यह सिर्फ एक स्त्री और एक पुरुष के बीच की चीज है। पुरुष का पुरुष से प्यार, शादी और सेक्स या फिर स्त्री का स्त्री से प्यार, शादी और सेक्स इसे हमारे समाज में अभी भी स्वीकार्यता नहीं है। भारत में पहले समलैंगिक रिश्ते को गैरकानूनी माना जाता था। अब यहां सेम सेक्स संबंध तो गैर कानूनी नहीं है लेकिन शादी के लिए मान्यता मिलनी बाकी है। वैसे 26 ऐसे देश हैं जहां समलैंगिक शादी को मान्यता मिल चुकी है।अब इस जानकारी के साथ उन शब्दों को भी जानना जरूरी है जो विभिन्न लैंगिक पहचान के लोगों के लिए इस्तेमाल किए जाते हैं। अलग-अलग लैंगिक पहचान के लोगों के लिए आमतौर पर LGBTIQ का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। आज हम जानेंगे कि इस LGBTIQ का L, G, B, T, I और Q किन चीजों के संदर्भ में इस्तेमाल होता है।Heterosexualऊपर लिखी टर्म में इसके लिए कोई संक्षिप्त अक्षर इस्तेमाल नहीं हुआ है लेकिन हमारी शुरुआत इसी से होगी। इसके लिए इंग्लिश में straight भी इस्तेमाल होता है। एक यही लैंगिक पहचान है जिसे हमारे समाज में माना, सराहा और स्वीकार किया जाता है। हमारा समाज इसी लैंगिक पहचान के लोगों को दिमागी तौर पर फिट करार देता है, बाकी तो उनकी नजर में पागल हैं। जब एक पुरुष प्यार, शादी या सेक्स के लिए किसी महिला के प्रति या एक महिला प्यार, शादी या सेक्स के लिए किसी पुरुष की ओर आकर्षित होती है तो उसे Heterosexual (हेट्रोसेक्शुअल) या straight (स्ट्रेट) कहा जाता है।Lbianजब एक महिला प्यार, शादी या सेक्स के लिए किसी पुरुष की ओर आकर्षित न होकर किसी महिला के प्रति ही आकर्षित होती है तो उसे Lbian (लेस्बियन) कहा जाता है। लेस्बियन में भी पहले दो अलग-अलग लैंगिक पहचान मानी जाती थी एक Butch और दूसरी Femme। ऐसा माना जाता था कि दो लेस्बियन में एक की चाल-ढाल, पहनावा और व्यवहार पुरुषों की तरह का होगा। उनके लिए Butch टर्म का इस्तेमाल किया जाता था। और एक पार्टनर के बारे में माना जाता था कि उसके अंदर महिलाओं वाली विशेषता होगी जिसके लिए Femme टर्म का इस्तेमाल किया जाता था।Gayजब एक पुरुष किसी महिला की ओर आकर्षित न होकर पुरुष की ओर ही आकर्षित होता है, उनको Gay (गे) कहा जाता है। वैसे Gay एक ऐसी टर्म है जिसका इस्तेमाल Heterosexual को छोड़कर अन्य लैंगिक पहचान के लिए एक अंब्रेला टर्म के तौर पर भी होता है।Bisexualये लोग किसी भी लिंग (स्त्री या पुरुष) के प्रति आकर्षित हो सकते हैं। इसे यूं समझें कि अगर एक पुरुष की दिलचस्पी महिलाओं के साथ-साथ पुरुषों के साथ संबंध बनाने में भी हो सकती है। यही महिलाओं के साथ भी है। ऐसे संबंध को Bisexual (बाईसेक्शुअल) कहा जाएगा।Transgenrये वे लोग होते हैं जिनका व्यवहार उनके जन्म के समय के लिंग के विपरित होता है। मान लीजिए कोई जन्म के समय पुरुष था लेकिन उसका व्यवहार महिलाओं वाला है या जन्म के समय लड़की थी लेकिन व्यवहार लड़कों वाला है तो उनको Transgenr (ट्रांसजेंडर) कहा जाता है। Transgenr को कई श्रेणियों में बांटा जाती है। पहली दो श्रेणी तो Cross Drsers औरTranssexual की है। बाकी उनके बीच भी Heterosexual, Bisexual, Lbian और Gay होते हैं।Cross Drsersयह ऐसे Transgenr होते हैं जो अपने लिंग के विपरित लिंग का कपड़ा पहनते हैं। जैसे किसी का जन्म पुरुष के तौर पर हुआ हो और वह खुद को महिला जैसा महसूस करे और महिलाओं के जैसा ही कपड़ा पहने, उसे Cross Drser कहा जाता है। इसी तरह कोई स्त्री खुद में पुरुषों वाले गुण महसूस करे और पुरुषों की तरह पहनावे अपनाए, उसे भी Cross Drser कहा जाता है।Transsexualजन्म के बाद लिंग बदलवाने वालों के लिए Transsexual टर्म का इस्तेमाल होता है। जन्म के समय पुरुष हो और मेडिकल सर्जरी की मदद से स्त्री बन जाए या फिर जन्म के समय लड़की हो लेकिन बाद में लड़का बन जाए तो उनको Transsexualकहा जाता है। प्यार, शादी और सेक्स के लिए लिंगों के चुनाव के आधार पर उनके बीच भी Heterosexual, Lbian, Bisexual और गे होते हैं।M-F-M-पुरुष के तौर पर जन्म होने के बाद कोई महिला बन जाए और उसका आकर्षण किसी पुरुष की ओर हो तो उसको Heterosexual कहा जाता है। अगर उसका लगाव किसी महिला के प्रति हो तो उसको Lbian कहा जाता है। अगर उसका लगाव महिलाओं के साथ-साथ पुरुषों की ओर भी हो तो उसको Bisexual कहा जाता है।F-M-F-स्त्री के तौर पर जन्म होने के बाद कोई पुरुष बन जाए और उसका आकर्षण किसी स्त्री की ओर हो तो उसको Heterosexl कहा जाता है। अगर उसका लगाव किसी पुरुष के प्रति हो तो उसको Gay कहा जाता है। अगर उसका लगाव महिला के साथ-साथ पुरुष की ओर भी हो तो उसको Bisexual कहा जाता है।Intersexजन्म के समय अगर किसी का लिंग स्पष्ट नहीं होता है तो ऐसे लोगों को Intersex कहा जाता है। ऐसे लोगों का लिंग डॉक्टर द्वारा ही निर्धारित किया जाता है। डॉक्टर ही बताता है कि ऐसे लोगों को स्त्री माना जाए या फिर पुरुष।Queer-Qutngयह दुविधा में फंसे लोगों की श्रेणी है। यह वे लोग होते हैं जो अपने बारे में तय नहीं कर पाते हैं कि उनका आकर्षण पुरुष की ओर है या फिर स्त्री, उनके अंदर स्त्री वाले गुण हैं या फिर पुरुष वाले। हमेशा उधेड़बुन में खोए रहते हैं। ऐसे लोगों के लिए Queer (क्विअर) का इस्तेमाल होता है। चूंकि ऐसे लोगों के मन में अपने लैंगिक आकर्षण या लैंगिक पहचान को लेकर सवाल होते हैं कि आखिर वे क्या हैं, इसलिए ऐसे लोगों के लिए Qutng टर्म का भी इस्तेमाल किया जाता है।Navbharat Tim News App: देश-दुनिया की खबरें, आपके शहर का हाल, एजुकेशन और बिज़नेस अपडेट्स, फिल्म और खेल की दुनिया की हलचल, वायरल न्यूज़ और धर्म-कर्म... Dpe the persistence of stereotyp that portray lbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several s of rearch and clil experience have led all mastream medil and mental health anizatns this untry to nclu that the orientatns reprent normal forms of human experience.

Helpful rpons of a therapist treatg an dividual who is troubled about her or his same sex attractns clu helpg that person actively pe wh social prejudic agast homosexualy, succsfully rolve issu associated wh and rultg om ternal nflicts, and actively lead a happy and satisfyg life. The phrase “g out” is ed to refer to several aspects of lbian, gay, and bisexual persons’ experienc: self-awarens of same-sex attractns; the tellg of one or a few people about the attractns; wispread disclosure of same-sex attractns; and intifitn wh the lbian, gay, and bisexual muny. Th, is not surprisg that lbians and gay men who feel they mt nceal their sexual orientatn report more equent mental health ncerns than do lbians and gay men who are more open; they may even have more physil health problems.

Lbian, gay, and bisexual youth who do well spe strs—like all adolcents who do well spe strs—tend to be those who are socially petent, who have good problem-solvg skills, who have a sense of tonomy and purpose, and who look forward to the future.

If they are a heterosexual relatnship, their experienc may be que siar to those of people who intify as heterosexual unls they choose to e out as bisexual; that se, they will likely face some of the same prejudice and discrimatn that lbian and gay dividuals enunter. AbstractThe Amerin Psychiatric Associatn and the Amerin Psychologil Associatn have suggted for many years now that there is signifint empiril evince supportg the claim that homosexualy is a normal variant of human sexual orientatn as opposed to a mental disorr. The accatn of g outdated material and viatg to realms beyond the spe of one's expertise impli two thgs; first, impli that there actually is rmatn that is more up-to-date than what the nun prented on the topic of homosexualy, and sendly impli that there are credible experts who are more qualified to teach or speak on the topic of homosexualy.

HOMOPHILY, CLOSE FRIENDSHIP, AND LIFE SATISFACTN AMONG GAY, LBIAN, HETEROSEXUAL, AND BISEXUAL MEN AND WOMEN

When one brows the Inter, one will see that apparently many of the so-lled experts on mental disorrs claim that there is a signifint amount of scientific evince support of the claim that homosexualy is not a mental disorr. Hence, is necsary to provi a summary and analysis of that purported up-to-date scientific evince which supports the claim that homosexualy is not a mental two groups that are typilly emed thorative and credible experts on mental disorrs the Uned Stat are the Amerin Psychologil Associatn (APA) and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn; th, I will prent their stanc on homosexualy and then analyze the “scientific evince” that they claim supports their stanc.

As a rult of their ficienci, the credibily of the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn and the APA, at least their claims regardg human sexualy, is lled to Amerin Psychologil Associatn and the Amerin Psychiatric AssociatnI will beg by scribg the APA and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn, and I will then prent their stanc on the topic of homosexualy.

HOMONYM GAY

Dog so will provi more evince of the stance of both the APA and the Amerin Psychiatric Two Associatns’ Stance on HomosexualyThe APA wr:Same-sex sexual attractns, behavr, and orientatns per se are normal and posive variants of human sexualy— other words, they do not dite eher mental or velopmental disorrs. 2009, 15) Brief of Amici Curiae for both the APA and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn siar language:Des of rearch and clil experience have led all mastream mental health anizatns this untry to the ncln that homosexualy is a normal form of human sexualy.
