2.3.1 Heterosexuality
Heterosexuality refers to sexual behavior with, or attraction to, people of the opposite sex, or to a heterosexual orientation. As a sexual orientation,
heterosexuality refers to an enduring pattern of or disposition to experience sexual, affectional, or romantic attractions primarily to persons of the opposite
sex. The term of heterosexual is referred to people who are only interested in
the opposite sex. Men love women and vice versa. Most people are categorized into this category. Heterosexual orientation is considered to be the most normal
sexual orientation and is accepted by the society. Marriage can only be conducted by the heterosexual couples. By this sexual orientation, human beings still exist
until now since they can proliferate and maintain their generation.
2.3.2 Homosexuality
Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex, or to a homosexual orientation. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality refers
to having sexual and romantic attraction primarily or exclusively to members of one’s own sex. A male homosexual is usually called gay, while a female
homosexual called lesbian. In this recent year, the subjects of homosexuality are so vast and affect so
