  • What Is Gender?

    What Is Gender? Identity, Biological Sex and Human Diversity

    Gender is often presented as something natural, fixed and immutable. Many people believe that being a man or a woman is an automatic consequence of biology. However, when we look at history, cultural diversity and human experience, a far more complex reality begins to emerge.

  • G0y: masculinity, bromance and male sexual fluidity

    G0y: masculinity, bromance and male sexual fluidity

    Can a man have sex with other men while still identifying as straight? There are men who have sex with other men, reject the gay label and uphold a highly traditional view of masculinity. The g0y phenomenon revolves around that apparent contradiction. Some years ago I read an article briefly explaining what g0y men were, and although I already suspected that homoerotic relationships between straight-identified men were far more common than most people assume, the topic immediately caught my attention.

  • How many people are gay? LGBT statistics.

    How many people are gay? | LGBT statistics | 1 in 10

    The idea that one in ten people is homosexual is perhaps one of the most known and recurring “myths” about homosexuality. It has become part of our imaginary, and despite having been strongly protested by certain “conservative” groups and by the every-so-often appearance of new surveys, reports, and studies that question this myth, it is difficult to leave behind because it has accompanied us since the end of the 70s, and that, for me, is my whole life.

  • Homosexual Behavior and Homosexuality: They Are Not the Same Thing

    The homosexual behavior and the homosexuality | Diferent things

    Homosexual behavior and homosexuality are often confused, but they are different concepts. Having a sexual experience with someone of the same sex/gender does not automatically make someone homosexual. Likewise, a person may identify as homosexual without ever having had sex.

  • Tomboy and gender expression

    Tomboy and gender expression. The maturity of uncertainty.

    To talk about the Tomboy phenomenon, we have to talk about gender expression. We all have gender expression. And in most cases, the first time we stumble upon the gender is at birth (or ultrasound scan.) When they see our genitals, they assume that we express it. We say hello, I am a female! Hello, I am a male! But it is understood something different. It’s a girl! It’s a boy!

  • 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.

  • Transparent. How to call your father after his sex change

    Transparent. How to call your father after his sex change.

    Transparent, understood trans-parent, is a television series that grabs you from the first chapter, perhaps because it shows the impact on a family, when the pater and also grandfather, Mr. Pfefferman, comes out. After wander in the wilderness and gather his courage later, changes his wardrobe and his name, from Mort to Maura, and says here I am.

  • Queeners and Sanctimonious. Chapter 1: Two Queens in the Palace

    Queeners and Sanctimonious. Chapter 1: Two Queens in the Palace.

    This first chapter started a video series on the pink side and hidden of historic characters of the royal houses and the church, presented by Luis Martin.

  • Sochi 2014: The most gay & lesbian Olimpic Games in history.

    Sochi 2014, the most gay & lesbian Olimpic Games in history

    When the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games were held, there was a lack of a strong rejection by the Olympic Committee of Russian homophobia, although it was not unexpected because the fruit never falls far from the tree. We, on the day of the inauguration, published this article and posted 4 freely distributed thumbnails for the profiles.

  • Pupil dilation and sexual orientation

    Pupil dilation and sexual orientation| Is heterosexuality a minority?

    Some time ago, began circulating through the networks the news about people’s sexual orientation could be known by measuring the pupil dilation. The news seemed interesting, but each of the links provided the same information and it did not report too much. As you know, in Moscas de Colores, we are very interested in any scientific information on sexual diversity in any of its aspects, so this news needed more detail to know if it was true or not and, in the second case, find out what was behind so much headline. That’s why we visited the website of the Cornell University (US) to look for that study and to see what we found.

  • Before homosexuality, a story without labels

    Before homosexuality, a story without labels | Historical & personal experie

    Gender, transgender, transsexuality, intersexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality, identity… Over the last century we have expanded our vocabulary as our understanding of sexual diversity has grown, and with this new vocabulary we have been writing a discourse that seeks to situate and explain each of the multiple manifestations of that diversity.

  • 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? Both would probably understand sexuality, desire, masculinity and human relationships in completely different ways.
