The opinion of the general public regarding the raising of children by homosexual couples
CIPÍNOVÁ, Veronika
The thesis deals with the opinion of the general public on children upbringing by homosexual couples. I chose the topic as it is interesting and up-to-date. The main goal of the thesis was to find out the opinion of the general public on children upbringing by homosexual couples and a partial aim focused on finding out which gender is more tolerant to these problems. The theoretical part of the thesis is aimed at characterizing the basic terms related to homosexuality and homosexual cohabitation. A substantial part is dedicated to Act No. 115/2006 Col. on registered partnership, where I focus on the rights and obligations of partners, maintenance obligation and parental responsibility of the pair for a child. This part also deals with family, homoparental family and children upbringing in homoparental families, where I mention the reasons for and against children upbringing in such families. Last but not least I deal with the possibilities of homosexuals to become parents. The practical part includes a research, which was performed by means of questionnaires distributed to the general public. I asked the respondents about their awareness of Act No. 115/2006 Col. on registered partnership. I tried to find out whether the respondents were aware of the act, whether they agreed with children upbringing in homoparental families and if they could imagine growing up in such a family. I was also interested in respondents? opinion on assisted reproduction in lesbian women and their approach to children upbringing by homosexual couples. Most of the respondents agree in the questions related to children upbringing by homosexual couples.

Ethical questions concerning the homosexual partnership
TAUBROVÁ, Květa
This bachelor thesis deals with the topics which are connected with a partnership between homosexual persons. There is a description of few ethic problems, e.g. registered partnership, adoption by homosexual couples, convention and attitudes towards homosexuality in many different cultures and religions. Some important names e.g. Jiří Hromada (an editor of gay magazines and a gay activist) or important organizations e.g. SOHO, STUD, HRHO and many other organizations are mentioned as well. Homose uality was, is and probably will be discussed very much. It is a worldwide topic not only for ethic, but also for religion. Despite the fact that the Bible does not know the word "homosexuality", we can say that homosexuality is rejected by Scripture. (Lv 18,22; 20,13). The possibility of an adoption can be very often a wish of many homosexual orientated persons. That is why some terms connected with a compensatory family care, a procedure how apply for the compensatory family care and a possibility of IVF are concerned.

The attitudes of ZSF JU students to the traditional form of family structure and other ways of partner life
VAŘEČKOVÁ, Lenka
This Bachelor thesis ´ZSF JU Students´ Stance on the Traditional Form of the Family and on Other Forms of Partnership Life´ deals with the issues of a modern-day family and with the changeover from a traditional family to alternative forms of family and marriage. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on relationships, marriage, family and its roles. It also looks into the issues of alternative cohabitation of partners and examines the most important and distinctive forms of family and marriage alternatives. I proceed to introduce the results of last year´s study carried out at both the Faculty of Health and Social Studies and at the Pedagogical Faculty. The theoretical part of the thesis is concluded by public opinion poll of Czech society on the issues of family and its alternatives. For this Bachelor thesis I opted for the qualitative research strategy and the data was collected according to the ´focus group´ method. Thanks to this method I have learnt the opinions of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies students on the issues of family and on various forms of partnership life. The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to ascertain the stances and opinions of students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice on family and alternative forms of the family and on other of partnership life. The research has shown that ZSF JU students give preference to married life as a result of prior cohabitation of partners. Their attitude towards alternative ways to marriage and family is not negative, they are fairly positive about it. They have negative attitude towards the phenomena of the present-day family. They are of the opinion that children should be born into traditional families, where the parents are married to each other. One of the practical benefits of this study´s results is the mapping of ZSF JU students´ awareness of the issues of alternative ways of family and partner cohabitation, based on the lectures at ZSF JU. This study can therefore help to improve the quality of lectures on sociology.

Comparison of Sociocultural Development in Homosexually Oriented People in Selected Countries of the European Union
KORELOVÁ, Andrea
Opinions and attitudes towards homosexually oriented people and their lives have changed significantly in the last twenty years. Homosexuality is not considered as a sexual deviation any more, and more and more European cultures allow formal and legal existence of the same-sex couples. In some states of the European Union gays and lesbians can become parents legally - they are allowed full joint adoption. The objective of the theoretical part of the thesis was to approach the issue of homosexuality and homosexually oriented people within the context of selected states of the European Union. The main objective of the research part of the thesis was to find out the attitude of the wide public towards the institute of registered partnership (civil union or civil partnership) in the Czech Republic. The partial objective was to survey the public attitude towards the adoption of a child by a single homosexual and towards the adoption of a child by a homosexual couple (full joint adoption) in the Czech Republic. I also wanted to find out, whether the Czech public tolerate the adoption of a child of a homosexual partner or the artificial insemination of lesbian couples. Quantitative research, polling method and an anonymous questionnaire {--} a technique of the research - were used in the practical part.

Postoj svobodných mladých žen a mužů s homosexuální orientací k registrovanému partnertsví.
BABKOVÁ, Lucie
In my diploma thesis, I dealt with the question of homosexuality, especially with the attitude of homosexual men and women to registered partnership. The diploma thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, the other one comprises my research. In the first, theoretical part, I was concerned with the concept of homosexuality from the past to the present days, with the attitude to it from the medical and social points of view, and from the standpoint of faith. I dealt with the fundamental concepts relevant to homosexuality {--} coming out, the way of its progress, the homosexual identification, behaviour, the differences between homosexuality in men and women etc. Last but not least, I focused on the political and legislative aspects, such as the questions of discrimination, the attitude to the Registered Partnership Act and the resulting rights to start a family. To carry out the research part I used questionnaires with 23 closed and 1 semi-closed questions. 100 questionnaires were handed out to men and women with a different sexual orientation in the Region of South Bohemia. The research proceeded predominantly with the help of the South Bohemian Lambda. I was given back 73 completed questionnaires, and I worked with this sample in the research part of my dissertation. The responses to the questions drawn up in the answer sheet were to help me to confirm or refute my hypotheses. The first hypothesis: The young generation with homosexual orientation more often take a positive than a negative attitude to registered partnership. The second hypothesis: The young generation with homosexual orientation feel discriminated by the heterosexual society. On the basis of the responses obtained from questionnaires we can assume that neither of my hypotheses was confirmed. Young homosexual people do not have a positive attitude to the registered partnership. The vast majority of the respondents answered that they found certain drawbacks in the law, both in the legal and social fields. For these reasons the majority of the interviewed people do not use the possibility of registered partnership, and during the period of the Registered Partnership Act they have not noticed any changes related to their life with regard to their sexual orientation. The second hypothesis concerning young homosexual people who feel discriminated by heterosexual society was not confirmed either. The evaluation of the results shows that the majority of homosexuals have never met with discrimination either in employment, society or in health service. And if they have, the discrimination was related largely to men who were mostly exposed to verbal attacks. But it is necessary to point out that the refutation of this hypothesis can be affected by the fact that a certain percentage of respondents who said that they had never met with any discrimination, they have not admitted their different sexual orientation in public or in front of close friends.
