The subject of this diploma was Life in rainbow colors: attitudes and perceptions of homosexuals. The beginning of this diploma thesis consists out of the theoretical part which covers different definitions that are closely related to homosexuality. Furthermore, the methodological structure of the research which includes the subject of research, purpose, scientific questions, characteristics of the research participants, the measuring instrument, and the description of the research implementation procedure are explained. A qualitative methodology, a semi-structured interview, and a snowball method were used to conduct the research. Twelve participants of homosexual orientation joined the research. The interviews have been made between January and the end of July of 2021. The interviews are presented in the form of transcripts and can be found in the appendix. Certain parts of the transcripts were singled out and some parts of result interpretations were analyzed in more detail. This research has found that understanding one's homosexuality represents a stressful period of life as well as the process of coming out where fears of the family's reaction are most prevalent. Although homosexual persons are viewed as marginalized and discriminated groups, the participants generally didn't experience social exclusion, violence, and rejection. They had the experience of heterosexual and homosexual relationships, and entering a same-sex community would give them some security. Opinions are that there are some difficulties in forming a same-sex community as well as discrimination against it. They would like to have children, and if they decided to, adoption would be the most likely option. They believe that there are certain differences and discrimination in the upbringing of a child and/or children with heterosexual and same-sex partners, but that this creates a community. They are satisfied with their lives, and life outside the Republic of Croatia was practiced by some of the participants who mostly have positive experiences, considering that they have lived in developed European countries. Gay pride is considered important, and it's attended by those participants who consider them important.
