This is a referenced overview list of notable gay, lesbian or bisexual people, who have either been open about their sexuality or for which reliable sources exist. Famous people who are simply rumored to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, are not listed. The definition of sexual orientation has changed greatly over time and the word "gay" wasn't used to describe sexual orientation until the mid 20th century. A number of different classification schemes have been used to describe sexual orientation since the mid-19th century. Much of the research about sexual orientation has failed to define the term at all, making it difficult to reconcile the results of different studies. However, most definitions include a psychological component (such as the direction of an individual's erotic desire) and/or a behavioural component (which focuses on the sex of the individual's sexual partner/s). Some prefer to simply follow an individual's self-definition or identity. See homosexuality and bisexuality for criteria that have traditionally denoted lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people. The high prevalence of people from the West on this list may be due to societal attitudes toward homosexuality. The Pew Research Center's 2003 Global Attitudes Survey found that "()eople in Africa and the Middle East strongly object to societal acceptance of homosexuality. Opinion in Europe is split between West and East. Majorities in every Western European nation surveyed say homosexuality should be accepted by society, while most Russians, Poles and Ukrainians disagree. Americans are divided – a thin majority (51 percent) believes homosexuality should be accepted, while 42 percent disagree." Attitude towards homosexuality in Latin American countries have increasingly been more legally tolerant, but Mexico and Brazil have remained unaccepting about the subject.〔(Realtruth.org )〕〔(Paho.org )〕 ==Persons of confirmed lesbian, gay or bisexual orientation== The following list includes notable people who have self-identified as homosexual or bisexual, or whose homosexuality or bisexuality has been backed by sources that are usually considered reliable. * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: A * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Ba–Bh * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Bi–Bz * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: C * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: D–E * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: F * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: G * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: H * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: I–J * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: K * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: L * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: M * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: N–O * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: P–Q * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: R * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sa–Sc * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sd–Si * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sj–Sz * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: T–V * List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: W–Z 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
