Once viewed by authorities as a pathology or mental illness to be cured, homosexuality is now more often investigated as part of a larger impetus to understand the biology, psychology, politics, genetics, history and cultural variations of sexual practice and identity. When describing the latter, it refers to enduring sexual and romantic attraction towards those of the same sex, or to a sexual orientation. In the English-speaking world, the term gay had been used within the subculture for decades before becoming popularized by the gay rights movement began in 1969. Karl-Maria Kertbeny coined the term homosexual in 1869 in a pamphlet arguing against a Prussian anti-sodomy law. 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.
