#1: Homosexuality was considered a
psychiatric (mental) disease, until
recently!

Having sexual feelings for someone of the
same sex, before the early 1970s, was
classified by the psychiatric and medical
world as a serious mental disorder requiring
treatment. Medical textbooks had chapters
reflecting homosexuality as an abnormality.
But, recently, after several professional
reviews, no medical basis was found to
classify it as a disease any longer. And gays
were noticed to live normal lives, raise stable
kids, and perform well at work. Medical
textbooks now reflect homosexuality not as a
sexual disorder, but a sexual orientation.

#2: Homosexual behaviors are clearly seen
in many animals!

Contrary to what many people think and say,
homosexual behaviors have been observed in
over 1500 species of animals. In almost every
specie, something, sometimes, happens to a
few, a minority, of the animals -- they prefer
their counterpart of same sex as sex mate!
Some, for a period, exhibit sexual intimacy
and activity towards same or both sexes -- a
kind of bisexual; others, however, would pair
to protect and even copulate a partner of
same sex for their entire lives, completely
ignoring the opposite sex!

#3: The exact cause of homosexuality is
yet unknown!

We have searched. No "gay gene" found yet.
We observe there might be some genetic
involvement because if one of an identical
twins is gay, even if raised in different
environment and beliefs, there's a 52% chance
for the other twin (who has same genes with
the gay twin) to be gay too! Also, the way the
brain of a gay person appears and function is
different from that of a non-gay. Hormones
act differently. Some limited evidence shows
and it is suspected that some biological and
chemical changes occurred during their brain
formation in their mother's womb. We know
people are not gay just because of their
upbringing, or broken family or child abuse.
No! She is not lesbian just because she was
forced into it in boarding school! There is
something more than background and social
conditioning, something internal...and we are
not certain yet of what it is.

#4: Homosexuals are more prone to some
sexually transmitted infections, (and some
other medical conditions) than
heterosexuals.

Due to certain peculiar sexual practices,
homosexuals have higher risks of certain
medical conditions especially sexually
transmitted ones. For example, the incidence
of HIV and Hepatitis B virus infections is
highest in homosexual men who practise anal
sex. Anal sex, the riskiest form of sex, also
increases the risk of anal tears, rectal
prolapse, and pile. Sharing of dildos,
vibrators, sex machines, and other intimacy gadgets
among lesbians increases the risk of infections
drastically. And due to guilt, fear, rejection,
and frustration, they are prone to some
mental conditions like clinical depression,
anxiety disorders, and suicide.
#5: Homosexuality is hardly a choice; and
change is, if possible, extremely difficult!
As children, they behave like the opposite sex,
preferring the toys and plays of the other sex.
As grown-ups, the fear of "God's wrath", the
society's frown, and what people will say,
make them hide. They suppress it. They might
feign orgasm and pretend to enjoy sex with
the opposite gender. They force themselves
into relationships with the other sex, get
married, and raise kids. They want to be
"normal". They go for counseling and lifestyle
modification. Now, no scientific evidence of
clear-cut, sustained change has been
recorded. The observed changes are typically
external and short-lived, not a reparation; it
is more of a repression. Because, when all is
said and done, in their hearts, they still prefer
their gender.

DISCLAIMER: These statements should not be
taken as a reflection of my personal stand for
or against homosexuality. I write, simply
stating facts, as a scientist and a medical
doctor, and my personal beliefs are not
directly expressed.

Ewoo!!

@op how do we help them.

Are these facts neccessary?

Randy100: @op how do we help them.

Through God (serious prayer), and science ooo.

I support the first sentence of the post though " Having intimate feelings for someone of
the same sex, before the early 1970s, was
classified by the psychiatric and medical
world as a serious mental disorder requiring
treatment. "
