As you've noticed I wanted to take the title of this post to a famous song of the rich and poor, playing a little on the words of his text.

We talk about acceptance of their homosexuality, and positive and negative factors that can influence this process.

sono gay?

Before elencarti the factors mentioned above, I want to refer briefly to the stages of this process of self-acceptance, a process that sometimes can last a lifetime. I'll explain more in another post :)

We can consider a first phase before the definition which recognizes the right of the people have an interest in sex, but rejects the idea of being homosexual.

A second phase called for self-definition in which you start thinking of being homosexual, but you think it's just something about your sexuality, not involving your whole identity.

A third phase, subsequent self-definition in which you accept this part of you and try to integrate it in your "old" identity.

All right. There are factors that influence these positive steps and factors that may have a negative influence on the other hand, making it very difficult and heavy. Here we go.

POSITIVE FACTORS

  • Having a critical attitude towards the rules and gender roles. If you are not already agree with the social and family where you do not recognize and accept the defaults and rigid gender roles (eg, females should take care of home, and males do not) have a good chance to accept your homosexuality without drama.
  • Do not be tied to gender roles and have no expectations as heterosexual. Women who have grown up thinking that there are things women can do as women and dreaming of the white veil and many children will have more difficulty seeing themselves as lesbians and nell'accettarsi as compared to those who, by contrast, has never worried about such things.
  • Having a good self-esteem and self-image. Who is SICUR * of himself, he appreciates and welcomes you to discover more easily accept homosexual.
  • If you are lucky enough to be cresciut * in a tolerant environment, where different ways of being appreciated and positively valued the diversity, and are already on horseback :)

NEGATIVE FACTORS

  • Believing that homosexuality is an illness or deviance. This can be a great hindrance and lead to serious psychological problems, especially in cases where people gather homosexuals despite having chosen to marry and have children.
  • Strong religious beliefs can make you live your homosexuality as a sin and then as a sin to be expiated. Nothing could be more wrong. There are also Catholic groups and other religions (eg Waldensian) that accept with serenity homosexual believers).
  • People close to you and you are very legat * who have a negative view of homosexuality, and express it with anger and disgust.
  • Having a gay stereotype in your mind. We were wrong in thinking that all homosexuals are effeminate and dress as women or all gays dress and behave like the worst existing males.

What can I do if I am in a situation like this?

Works for you, convenient to call a group of homosexuals to get more information, confront some acquaintance with gay friendly or who inspires you trust, talk to a qualified psychologist and trained on these issues.
