Homosexuality from Ancient Greek ὁμός, meaning "same", and Latin sexus, meaning "sex" is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender. Today it is often used to describe the mainstream teleiophile gay community, excluding male boylovers. As an orientation, homosexuality refers to "an enduring pattern of or disposition to experience sexual, affectionate, or romantic attractions" primarily or exclusively to people of the same sex. "It also refers to an individual's sense of personal and social identity based on those attractions, behaviors expressing them, and membership in a community of others who share them."[1][2][3] Up until the late twentieth century, ephebophiles and hebephilies were not typically differentiated from teleiophile homosexuals. It was only with the advent of the Gay Rights Movement in the late twentieth century that due to extreme pressure from the radical feminist lesbian faction that pederasts were excluded.[4] [5]
