Lesbian, however, always denotes female homosexuality. The legal and social status of people who perform homosexual acts or identify as gay or lesbian varies enormously across the world and in places remains hotly contested in political and religious debate. The term homosocial is now used to describe single-sex contexts that are not specifically sexual. The first known appearance of homosexual in print is found in an 1869 German pamphlet by the Austrian-born novelist Karl-Maria Kertbeny, published anonymously. Homosexuality can refer to both attraction or sexual behavior between organisms of the same sex, or to a sexual orientation. Homosexual behavior occurs among numerous animals other than humans, particularly among social animals. Homosexuality has been a feature of human culture since earliest history (see History section below). The first letters are frequently combined to create the acronym LGBT (sometimes written as GLBT),.
