"Homosexuality, defining simply, is a conduct that manifestsitself in practice Of same-sex relationships. The word "Homosexual"was first used in 1869 by the Viennese writer Benkert, trying to demonstratethat people who followed this conduct were a third sex. In 1870, the term"homosexual" was introduced in the medical literature by psychiatristWestphal, describing it as a type of personality disorder2. S. Freud,considered as an aberration any deviation from sexual intercourse that does notreach its normal end, that is, the "conjunction of the genitals". Theuse of the term "homosexual", generated others, that became necessaryto define personal attitudes before this conduct. Thus, the term"homophilia" defines the attitude of those who accept homosexualbehavior, and the term "homophobia" defines the behavior of those whooppose such behavior. Until a few years ago, from the point of view ofpsychology, homosexuality was considered as sexual deviance, compared toincest, fetishism, exhibitionism, sadism, etc., because it causes guilt,anxiety or discomfort. But recently, the American Psychiatric Association hasremoved Male Homosexuality and Female Lesbianism from the list of sexualmisconduct because it believes that such practices do not cause anypsychological disturbances.

In the parliaments they promote modifications ofthe constitutional norms, as in England where the homosexuality is a legal actif practiced from the 16 years of age; In Denmark and the Netherlands, gaymarriage is officially recognized. Adepts and defenders of the practice ofhomosexuality of the different segments of the society and mainly of leaders ofthe diverse religious tendencies, raise their voice in favor of this conduct.It should be said that this attitude is evident among ecclesiasticalpersonalities due to the increase of homosexuals among the members of theirrespective communities. A survey conducted by a prestigious Brazilian newspaperrevealed that 60% of Kardecist spiritists are in favor of legalizing civilunion among homosexuals; Following this trend are: 38% Catholics; 22% ofPentecostal evangelicals; 21% of non-Pentecostal evangelicals. Robert Goss, theAmerican evangelical theologian, proposes in the book of his own: Jesus ActedUp: A Gay and Lesbian Manifesto, the foundation of "ecclesial basecommunities" by homosexual people [vii]. It seems, the banner in defenseof homosexuality is unfurled by theologians of the Lutheran Church, through differentstudies and discussions on the subject. In 1986 the Lutheran Church in Americasent a homosexual study to their respective communities; In 1989 followed astudy titled: Can we talk about it?
