THE DOMINANT ATTITUDE ON VARIATIONS IN SEXUALITY

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author analyses the attitude insisting on the negative influence of sexual variations on individuals and society. He is focused on the dominant attitude of society which may be summarised in the following way „variations in sexuality are not something good“. This dominant attitude is advocated in their latest conclusions even by Serbian leading sociologists. He is also dedicated to analysing historical genesis of that attitude and he has attempted to answer the following questions: Is this kind of attitude dominant nowadays simply because it is correct? What does history teach us about that? If this attitude should be re-defined then how should variations in sexuality be alternatively categorised? The author has given special attention to the arguments confirming sexual variations as innate, but also to those claiming they are attained, and also to historical evidence on „detrimental role“ of the same sex orientation. In his conclusion the author criticises unnecessary tabooing.
