A SHORT JOURNEY THROUGH THE HISTORY OF HUMAN MALE HOMOSEXUALITY

IN THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE, IN THE SUMMA THEOLOGIAE AND ON NEWS WEBSITES

Abstract

 The article presents in its scope a brief review of the history of human male homosexuality. The research used a qualitative approach. and tried to answer the question: the Holy Bible, as a representative of God's words, discriminates against and condemns male homosexuality (gays)? This was done by delving into excerpts from the most important book for Catholicism, the Holy Bible, and excerpts from an LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Pan/Polisexual, Non-Binaries and other expressions of human gender and sexuality) themed film. As a goal, the research aimed to bring a clipping of the history of human male homosexuality, briefly going through the history of the Christian Holy Bible and in news reports on the issue of homosexuality within the Roman Catholic Church. Finally, the research was not able to state with certainty whether the Bible and related articles discriminate or condemn homoerotic practices among men, but it was able to draw a parallel between the individuals who wrote the Holy Bible and their respective eras of existence.
