ABSTRACT | ||
| We are more or less informed about homosexuality nowadays. In every sphere of life we often face homosexual peoples. Though it is very normal that we are living in 21st century and everybody should enjoy their life by their own terms. But unfortunately as other traits of fragmentation we are being categorized by sexuality. The mainstream society are divided by male- female categories, rest of these there also exists one more category which we called third sex. Generally the third sexes are LGBT peoples. These peoples are being polarized by the mainstream society. They are being deprived, exploited, harassed, and rejected by us in every sphere of our life. They has been facing social curse in our society, actually these peoples are trying to establish their identity, rights, positions among us, and the way to establish their identity is not so easy for them till date. Socially, politically they are marginalized and also minority. Due to lack of education facilities, health facilities, economic facilities the survival of day to day life is very much painful for them. The indirect response from the government is also responsible for their painful life that they are living today. In this study I have tried to focus on the socio-cultural conditions of homosexual peoples, and also focus on how the other peoples do think about them. This study is based on qualitative research and has collected the required date from both primary and secondary sources. Key Words: Sex, Gender, Homosexuality, gay, Lesbian, transgender, self- identification, Taboo, LGBTI. |
