Homosexuality can refer to both sexual behavior and sexual attraction between people of the same gender or to a sexual orientation. When describing a sexual orientation, it refers to enduring sexual and romantic attraction toward others of the same sex, but does not necessarily involve sexual behavior this.[1] Homosexual behavior includes any sexual activity between people of the same sex, regardless of sexual orientation.[2] Homosexuality is contrasted with heterosexuality, bisexuality, and pansexuality. While the term gay often refers to a homosexual man, it sometimes refers to homosexual people of either gender. Lesbian denotes a homosexual woman.
