LA RAZóN POR LA QUE ALGUNAS PERSONAS HETEROSEXUAL TIENEN SEXO GAY

¿TU CHI GAY, HETERO O BISEXUAL?
Y, people wh genr inty issu will typilly self-intify as heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual, jt as people who are perfectly fortable wh their birth sex tend to self-intify their sexual orientatn, but genr inty do not any way fluence who or what one fds romantilly and sexually sirable. Terms I hear fairly often clu pansexual, polysexual, heteroflexible, homoflexible, queer, sexually open-md, MSM (men who have sex wh men), and WSW (women who have sex wh women). If you are terted learng more about sexual orientatn and/or genr dysphoria, there are many eful rourc provid by plac like the Los Angel Genr Center, Parents and Friends of Lbians and Gays (PFLAG), the CDC’s GLBT Rource Page, the Human Rights Campaign, and hundreds of lol GLBT-supportive webs.

Sce 1975, APA has lled on psychologists to take the lead removg the stigma of mental illns that has long been associated wh lbian, gay, and bisexual orientatns. The prejudice and discrimatn that people who intify as lbian, gay, or bisexual regularly experience have been shown to have negative psychologil effects.
This page provis accurate rmatn for those who want to better unrstand sexual orientatn and the impact of prejudice and discrimatn on those who intify as lbian, gay, or bisexual. In the Uned Stat the most equent labels are lbians (women attracted to women), gay men (men attracted to men), and bisexual people (men or women attracted to both sex). Prejudice and discrimatn make difficult for many people to e to terms wh their sexual orientatn inti, so claimg a lbian, gay, or bisexual inty may be a slow procs.
