About Sexual Orientation
What is sexual orientation? What causes it? Is it a choice? Can therapy change it? What about "conversion therapy"? And "reparative therapy"? How can a therapist help?
About Homosexuality in General
Is it a mental illness? Can homosexuals be good parents? Why do they tell others? why is it difficult for GLBT? How do I overcome prejudice? Why is education important? Do all gay men have AIDS? Where can I learn more?
Can Lesbians, Gay Men, and Bisexuals Be Good Parents?
Yes. Studies comparing groups of children raised by homosexual and
by heterosexual parents find no developmental differences between the
two groups of children in four critical areas: their intelligence,
psychological adjustment, social adjustment, and popularity with
friends. It is also important to realize that a parent's sexual orientation
does not indicate their children's.
Another myth about homosexuality is the mistaken belief that gay men
have more of a tendency than heterosexual men to sexually molest children.
There is no evidence to suggest that homosexuals molest children more
often than heterosexuals.
