    In June 26th, the United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage rights are protected by the constitution, the United States achieve the legalization of same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage immediately sparked global hot debate. In China, the news immediately brush major topics and hot search list through internet, and become the theme of town talk in reality.

      It is not difficult for us to find that, a greater number of ordinary people concerned about this issue as well as the gay and lesbian rights organizations. Public discussion on the topic of homosexuality is a manifestation of the ideological emancipation and social progress, breaking the Chinese Society for a long time on the attitude of silence, people began to face up to it, and take the initiative to seek the possibility of dialogue.

      Common sense is a prerequisite for equal dialogue and effective communication, but homosexual in private suffered misunderstanding and prejudice. In recent years,with the mainstream media getting more freedom of speech, the younger generation mainly 80,90 after  hold a more tolerant attitude to gay people, understanding and respect for their way of life. But according to an authoritative survey, understanding of homosexuality in Chinese society, still exists a blind spot -- a considerable part of the elderly population, economy less developed area residents, education levels are low and religious personnel, know nothing about homosexuality, these people even have an attitude of discrimination and hostility.

      Lacking of common sense is the root cause of prejudice and discrimination, it makes it difficult for gay people to get rid of bullying culture, stuck in the spirit of trouble, leading to the differentiation, and intensify social contradictions at the same time. In order to eliminate misunderstanding,government education institutions in some developed countries suggest that homosexual sex-related content input school curriculum, textbook or set up a special classroom teaching the knowledge on homosexuality.

      open the fig leaf about homosexuality in sex education classes, not to seduce minors to go astray, but to take charge of their future. The development of the physical and psychological is uncertain for teens in puberty stage, by the popularity of gay knowledge which can guide the children the right to face their own sexual orientation, and cut off the source of discrimination in campus.

      Babu, My foreign teacher told me that it is common to bring gay-sex education into the classroom in the Western countries. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are many secondary schools to offer sex education courses in specialized area, describes the knowledge of homosexuality, and to help students comprehensive, scientific understanding of the issue of homosexuality.

      For young potentially homosexual groups, learning courses to help them eliminate their own sexual orientation confusion, resolve inner anxiety and fear, regain confidence and courage to live. Safe sex course assists them to protect themselves better in adulthood: to take the necessary security measures in sexual activities, can effectively avoid bodily injury, reduce the risk of disease transmission.

      For young heterosexuals who learn knowledge of homosexuality, the course would be a disenchantment process: homosexuality as a social phenomenon, it has a long history with cultural foundations, it is not the body or mental illness, and widely exist. Knowledge to educate and help them take off their tainted glasses and eliminate gay people fear and prejudice against homosexuals reduce school violence and social discrimination.

      Homosexuality is not alien in many countries in the world, they achieved the legalization of same-sex marriage, all the rights of LGBT group are protected by law.

      The degree of tolerance to homosexuality, which directly reflects the development of a high degree of social civilization. Embrace the beautiful ideal, I decided to accept the invitation from Babu, to write a bilingual lesson plan introducing the common sense of homosexual, filling out a blank in Primary and Secondary sex education .

      It has been an important step for me, and for all.


 

The following is the text :

 

 

 

 

A Preliminary survey

 on the history and present situation of homosexuality

 

 

 

      Homosexuality is a hot topic in current world, because of the promotion by modern media, the national homosexual liberation movement has been a whirlwind of social effects.

      The position and attitude towards homosexuality have been vague in China. The attitude of people towards homosexuality is broadly divided into three categories: Homosexuality is a crime or that it is immoral; homosexuality is a disease or a perversion; homosexuality is a lifestyle.

      But, homosexuality as a basic human behavior patterns, it has been a long history. An authority survey shows that : Whether in highly developed countries, or in the original tribal areas, Whether under a different political formation or cultural traditional context, homosexuality is widespread.

 

 

      1. Overview of the homosexuality history

 

     

      The concept of homosexuality in Western society is changing. In ancient Western countries, such as Greece and the Mayan civilization, to provide sexual services to homosexual prostitutes are managed by the Church, and to achieve a high degree of institutionalized religion. Even in ancient Greek culture, the sexual behavior among men was listed as a part of the adolescent education, homosexuality was considered in some way more advanced than the heterosexual love form. In ancient Greek army, the love between the soldiers is encouraged, so that it is more conducive to the morale of the war on the battlefield.

      In China, the earliest historical records about homosexuality from the Shang Dynasty. Gay first place in the court in ancient China, with the passage of history gradually shifted to the literati and the general social classes. Later, the government banned male prostitution, male homosexual behavior occurred in the troupe of actors. Actors in ancient China become the most important dignitaries to have sex objects, this phenomenon in the folk long time. This phenomenon in the folk exist for a long time.

      The incidence of homosexuality is another issue of common concern to the public. After an investigation, homosexual acts between primates and race, regardless of the overall proportion have occurred in the region of 10% to 12%, ratio reached basically stable. Due to the increase in the homosexual movement and the public understand the deepening of its people, the homosexual community is gradually being accommodated, the LGBT groups have access to more living space and the opportunity to express their demands, their pursuit of Diversity led to the birth of the United States in the last century 70's Queer culture, it became a beautiful late 60 branches of various human rights movement, and thus rise to political problems. In different political systems and social environments, LGBT culture suffered a different treatment, some of which have been punished, some are tolerant of acceptance. With the advent of the information age, Queer culture began to fight conventional monogamy, constructing new interpersonal patterns in various cultures and societies.

      In the attitude towards sex, the ancient people respect the instinct, the modern emphasis on the importance of the object. In the 18th and 19th centuries, homosexuality became a study of mental illness. Today, a growing number of homosexuals began disclosing their sexual orientation, the LGBT community is known to all the heterosexual people. Requirement for equal gay rights in employment, housing and public policy, and through the media frequently sound in front of the public.

      Nevertheless, there are still people think the homosexual community is more harmful to the society than the behavior itself: Social intolerance and lack of legal protection, makes this group with a unique way to find quick sex partners, resulting in a large number of unsafe sex, and ultimately affect the quality of life of homosexuals, including the spread of disease and a variety of ethical issues. This is a higher requirement for the modern legal norms.

 

      2.  The legal status of homosexuality

 

      Because of the strong opposition to homosexuality by Christianity, homosexuals have experienced all kinds of persecution in history until the 19th century, Western societies harsh attitude towards homosexuality began to change. Homosexual was finally recognized as a group of particularity tendencies, and not as criminals or patients.

      World-renowned homosexual researcher Halperin said, gay people and conventional main difference is: They do not pay attention to the process of courtship, but focus more on sex itself, which is the general form of interpersonal inspiring place. The lifestyle of the homosexual people leads to their interpersonal relationship, family relationship, value orientation, personal contacts, infiltrating and influencing the whole social sex standard.

      In China, people have been turning a blind eye attitude towards homosexuality phenomenon, its purpose is to make homosexuality disappears from people's view. At the same time, most homosexuals do not want to be identified, thus causing this phenomenon does not exist illusion. Few homosexuals into view, mostly originated from disease or crime, reinforcing people's prejudice against homosexual.

      At present, China has no clear legal provisions to prohibit the homosexuality, Voluntary homosexual activities between two adults, rarely lead to legal sanctions as long as it does not involve over three people or minors, or does not occur in public places. However, given the uncertainty Chinese legal policy and social pressure, homosexual people generally choose to keep a low profile in the life. Currently, the greatest threat for homosexual is not the legal sanction of law or the security police arrestment, but administrative sanctions and disciplinary action. This is a special control method in Chinese society.

      Compared to Western countries severely oppose Christianity, homosexuality in mainstream Chinese society has been neglected and contempt, it has been a good situation in China. However, China's homosexuals kept perfunctory attitude, hoping to hide in the closet, unwilling to initiate drastic transformation. This "Mean" philosophy of life rooted in traditional Chinese culture and mentality, such situation will continue for some time in the future. Over time, only to wait until the Western homosexual rights movement has made more progress, with greater changes in more people's views on homosexuality in the world, homosexuals in China is likely to be accepted by mainstream society to a greater extent, get better treatment.

 

      3.  Marriage status of homosexual

 

      As of July 2015, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Spain, South Africa, Portugal, Argentina, Iceland, Denmark, Brazil, England, France, New Zealand, Uruguay, Scotland, Luxembourg, Finland, Slovenia, Ireland, Mexico, the United States adopted a same-sex marriage Act, marriage status of homosexual has initially been improved.

      Same-sex marriage law eliminating the homosexual prejudice and injustice in law, to ensure that same-sex couples legal marriage registration procedures, Same-sex couples enjoy the same legal status with heterosexual couples in law since the marriage registration.

      China's marriage law does not recognize same-sax marriage relationship, there is no special law to regulate this part of social relations. There is no statutory right of inheritance between same-sex couples living together do not produce as jointly owned property. Inheritance and property relations between China's same-sex couple are just ordinary civil relations. In case of emergency, the same-sex partners do not have the protection of civil law, they also don't have the same stability as a marriage in law.

      As the traditional Chinese fertility concept deeply entrenched, same-sex marriage is far from the legislative agenda. Many homosexual people have to be married with the opposite-sex people who are heterosexual, raising children under fertility pressure. Most such cases with the nature of deception, leading the other heterosexuals can not enjoy a normal family life, easy to breed crisis of family and social relations. In view of this, many young gays and lesbians through the introduction of a specific organization, spontaneously forming "Marriage of convenience", Signing contract to stipulating both sides in the marriage rights and obligations, in order to reduce disharmonious factors besides fertility problems.

 

      In summary, homosexuality as a social phenomenon, has been more widely accepted in the world. In China society, the status and attitude towards homosexuality is still ambiguous. With the evolution of the times, homosexuality in China will get more living and activity space. Only to follow the world trend, take a more positive view of the homosexual community and care for the LGBT group, can we make a correct historical judgment of our own nation, effectively achieve pluralism and tolerance.
