The idea that one in ten people is homosexual is perhaps one of the most known and recurring “myths” about homosexuality.

Leviticus 18:22 | Leviticus 20:13 | Bible and homosexuality
When writing the article Bible and Homosexuality: word of God, we wanted to focus on the origin of terms such as “sodomite” and “homosexual”, which can be found in different versions of the Bible, in order to show that such terms were never used or even imagined by the authors of these books. This meant leaving out some texts in which the subject of relationships between persons of the same sex appeared more or less directly, Inuit women, bisexuality and the Primus stove
Inuit Sexuality and the Primus: Sexual Identity and Human Plasticity
The following article emerged from research begun by Moscas de Colores while working on our Kalaallisut Gay Dictionary and Kalaallisut Lesbian Dictionary, the language spoken by the Inuit peoples of Greenland. Through the words we collected and our need to understand them within their cultural context, we began following a thread that eventually led us to much deeper questions related to human sexual identity, its construction and its capacity for adaptation.

The sexual behavior of the Sambia
The Sambia and the Cultural Relativity of Sexuality
What would happen if an American newborn were raised from childhood within a Sambia tribe in Papua New Guinea? What if a Sambia child were raised from birth in a Western family?

Behaviors, attitudes and sexual tendencies of people have been seen and understood in many different ways depending on the culture or the time, and with that I am referring not only to sex between same sex people but everything that belongs to the sphere of human sexuality.

Homosexuality in the 21st century
Moscas de Colores is a project with several orientations. One is the explanation of homosexuality through the words that mankind has used and uses to speak of homosexual fact made in our species; because the rejection of homosexuality and human homosexuality has an origin and an explanation, whichever it may be. With an explanation things are better understood, and what is understood is rejected and feared less.
