This is what I call misconception. But Let me clarify some nortions people think about Homosexuals here:
1. Sexual orientation can not be caught or taught "fears of catching homosexuality, or of being recruited at school or elsewhere are utterly without scientific foundation."
~ Dr. Jack Weinberg, President American Psychiatric Association,
October 6, 1977.


2. Sexual orientation is not a choice. Sexual orientation is deep-seated and not something one chooses to be or not to be.
~ Dr. Alan P. Bell, senior author of "Sexual Preference", Bell, Weinberg & Hammersmith, Indiana University Press, 1981.

3.Research suggests that the homosexual orientation is in place very early in the life cycle, possibly even before birth. ~ Taken from the American Psychological Association Statement on
Sexual Orientation, July, 1994.


4. It is believed that there are several factors which determine sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is likely to be the result of several different factors, including genetic, hormonal, and environmental. None of these factors alone are responsible for determining sexual orientation. Psychological and social influences alone cannot cause homosexuality. "There is evidence that parents have very little influence on the outcome
of their children's sexual orientation under normal upbringing conditions."
~June Machover Reinisch, Ph.D. (Response from brochure) "Why is My
Child Gay?" Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays,
Inc., 1988.
5.Gays & lesbians discover their sexual orientation. They are not recruited or brainwashed into the "gay lifestyle". Gay and lesbian children are often aware of being different at a very early
age. They generally become aware of their sexual orientation during adolescence or early adulthood.
~ R.R. Troiden, "The Formation of Homosexual Identities", The Journal
of Homosexuality, 17, 43-73.


6. Homosexuality is not a mental or emotional disorder. The research on homosexuality is very clear. Homosexuality is neither mental illness nor moral depravity. It is simply the way a minority of
our population expresses human love and sexuality. Study after study documents the mental health of gay men and lesbians. Studies of judgment, stability, reliability, and social and vocational adaptiveness all show that gay men and lesbians function every bit as well as heterosexuals.
~ The American Psychiatric Association and The American Psychological
Association, July 1994


7. Efforts to change sexual orientation are ineffective and can be harmful. Research findings suggest that efforts to repair homosexuals are
nothing more than social prejudice garbed in psychological accouterments. ~ Taken from the American Psychological Association Statement on
Sexual Orientation, July, 1994.

8. No scientific evidence exists to support the effectiveness of any therapies that attempt to convert homosexuals to heterosexuals.
~ John C. Gonsiorek and James D. Weinrich, eds., Homosexuality:
Research Implications for Public Policy, Newbury Park, Calf.: Sage, 1991.
9. All attempts fail when gay people try to become heterosexual. ~D. C. Haldeman, "The Practice and Ethics of Sexual Orientation Conversion
Therapy", Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 62, p.221-227, 1994.

10. "Groups who try to change the sexual orientation of people through so-called
conversion therapy are misguided and run the risk of causing a great deal of psychological harm to those they say they are trying to help."
~Dr. Raymond Fowler, American Psychological Association Executive Director

11. Clinical experience suggests that any person who seeks conversion therapy may be doing so because of social bias that has resulted in internalized homophobia, and that gay men and lesbians who have accepted their sexual orientation positively are better adjusted than those who have not done so.
~American Psychiatric Association

Who would wish to be gay when the whole society downlooks upon them, when it so risky to do so, and when it is condemned in every almost all cultures and religions? What if majority of people were gays and you just find yourself attracted to the opposite? This is exactly what they gays are. . . they simply don't get sexual attraction from the opposite (being homosexual is an orientation not a practice - so there are gay virgins, nuns priests etc). Gay and lesbian people are just as capable of being good parents as are heterosexual parents.

Homosexuallity is a way of expressing love??......hahahahahaha!!...Do you believe it yourself?.That by screwing my a** you are loving?....There are also those who screw cows and goats!!...Are they expressing love too??...My man,it's a preference and stop reading those reseach papers by the same idiots who want to with-hold grants and aid simply because i am not screwing your a**.

Is the UK govt also providing diapers in addition to the protection?

"Bend over" by itself is not homosexuality since some heteros still do the same. Homosexuality perse is that natural attraction that one feels to the members of the opposite sex (for heterosexuals) or to members of the same sex (for homosexuals). Sex is a different thing altogether. Just as there are heterosexuals/straights who don't have sex, same case applies to gays.
