Same-sex relationship
A same-sex relationship, also known as same-gender relationship is a romantic or sexual relationship between people of the same sex or gender.
Some couples in same-sex relationships have children, both biological or non-biological, such as adoptive or foster children, and are parenting them with their partner.
Same-gender or same-sex marriage refers to the institutionalized recognition of such relationships in the form of a marriage; civil unions exist in some countries where same-sex marriage does not.
Historically, same-sex relationships, were referred to as homosexual relationships, gay relationships, or Lesbian relationships.
This led to exclusion of other members of the LGBTQ+ community and has been described as a form of bisexual or transgender erasure, erasing populations within the LGBTQ+ community.
The 21-st century has seen a shift in language and culture of sex and gender and the phrase same-gender relationship is commonly used synonymously with same-sex relationship, with either phrase being used to reference relationships between people of the same sex or gender interchangeably.
Moving from same-sex relationship to same-gender relationship has been described as removing restrictions of individuals within the same relationship by sexual orientation to be more expansive as gender identification is a spectrum.
The lives of many historical figures, including Socrates, Alexander the Great, Lord Byron, Edward II, Hadrian, Julius Caesar, Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde, Vita Sackville-West, Alfonsina Storni and Christopher Marlowe are believed to have included love and sexual relationships with people of their own sex. Terms such as gay or bisexual have often been applied to them; some, such as Michel Foucault, regard this as risking the anachronistic introduction of a contemporary construction of sexuality foreign to their times, though others challenge this.
