This work is about the result of intent and systematic readings, followed of notations and registers, which had served for the theoretical recital. The problem that guides this work is centered in the contributions of the religious speech and of medical-psychological for the construction of the Identities of the Homosexual Men, under which a critical analysis was made, from this we present the repercussion that such phenomenon has produced in the present time. This subject was studied through literature revision, therefore, of this form, with its guaranteed information get enough data to weave the panorama of scientific writings on the thematic and to take knowledge of which they had been the ways trod for the diverse authors to deal with the subject, beyond giving use supplied references to contextualize our research. Thus, we argue the importance and the risks of searching to affirm the Identities of Homosexuals, between as many obliquities, and demonstrate the historical moment that this population is living deeply; on account of this, and having innumerable speeches on the thematic , we display, then, as this dynamics happens and as we need to locate them, also while psychologists, not only to rescue auto-esteem of this community and to provide space to them in this society, as well as to try to liquidate what we call "a historical debt" that Psychology has with this social pursuing.
