Personality differences in individuals of various sexual orientations
Fořt, Jakub ; Havlíček, Jan (advisor) ; Procházka, Ivo (referee)
The previous research identified a range of personality differences between men and women of various sexual orientations. Non-heterosexual individuals systematically show higher gender nonconformity and greater openness to experience than heterosexual individuals. Non-heterosexual men also show higher levels of neuroticism compared to heterosexual men. The main aim of this study is to replicate previous findings regarding personality differences. The study further aims to determine whether some of the observed differences in personality factors might be explained by differences in gender nonconformity among individuals of various sexual orientations. Via an online survey, a short version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10) and a number of scales measuring gender nonconformity were administered to men (N = 3,418) and women (N = 4,690). In total, 232 individuals identified as asexual, 1,814 as bisexual, 3,024 as heterosexual, 2,468 as homosexual, and 570 as pansexual. Our results demonstrate higher gender nonconformity among non-heterosexual men and women, higher neuroticism among non-heterosexual men, and greater openness to experience among bisexual men and women compared to heterosexual individuals. Asexual women showed lower levels of extraversion than women of other sexual orientations. Gender...

Gay pride: the media portrait of homosexuality in czech media based on the example of gay marches
Strnadová, Mirka ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Hronová, Tereza (referee)
This thesis describes the reflection of homosexuality in Czech media on the example of marches of homosexuals. Firstly I clarify the main terms and the differences between them, then I focus on the history of perception of homosexuality and the roles of homosexuals in our society. The chosen units for the content analysis are following periodicals: MF Dnes, Právo and Lidové noviny. The analysis focuses on the articles published in the range of three months from the day the events took place during the years 2008 and 2011. In the analytical part of this thesis I firstly characterize the marches held twice in Brno, once in Tábor and once in Prague. All the periodicals were interested in the first Queer Parade in Brno but their interest in the second and third one dropped. The most media attention achieved the Prague Pride in 2011. There have been over 100 articles about this topic and their size rose and dropped equally with the number of visitors of these events. The interest of the media has also been influenced by any kind of negative event, mainly when the marches were attacked by extremists or criticised by politicians. These negative and stereotypical statements in media can be very influential in the way of stigmatizing sexual minority and it is also one of the aspects which this thesis pays...

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.
