Abstract
This research aims to examine the life of male homosexuals regarding their 2 aspects of relationship, including family factors influencing the prevalence of homosexuality and roles of male homosexuals to the family functions. The researcher had an in-depth interview with 20 male homosexuals. The data obtained was compared to find out the conclusions of all issues in relation to the family, life and roles of male homosexual. The results were presented in the descriptive pattern. The results of this research were as follows: 1. Almost half of male homosexuals had a normal birth, but low birth weight. Over half of male homosexuals had family members and relatives who were homosexuals on both the fathers and mothers side of the family. 2. During childhood, male homosexuals had detachment from their father, but close to their mother. Most of the male homosexuals were polite, shy, disliked strength-oriented activities, associated with female friends, and recognized that they liked the same-gender. During adolescence, they were doubtful about their sex favor; so they tried to search for the information about homosexuality. However, male homosexuals would accept or live a homosexual life once they had a sexual experience with another male homosexual. 3. Male homosexuals have usually suffered the impermanent love relationship, disgust by the society and family acceptance. At the first stage, when the family was aware of homosexuality in any male homosexual, they resisted and tried to stop his homosexuality. However, male homosexuals try to perform the functions of son and daughter simultaneously, and they drive themselves to get acceptance.
