If you spent as much time researching the causes of degrees of homosexual behavior in humans, you might find your one-sided promotion wasted.
Here is one study which is going to prove all your NARTH theses incorrect and biased. Research does not focus on one outcome sigularly as does NARTH. True research looks at all causes and degress of abnormality.
Even as with heterosexual identity, there are degrees of differentiation between active sexual aggression and passive non-sexual pursuit. Homosexuality is yet one step farther into sexual imperfection. As with nature, there are many things which are imperfect. But they are part of this world and part of human biological functioning. Yet you set out to claim these people can be "cured". As ridiculous as the claims NARTH makes.
There is homosexuality in all of the animal world, even in mammalians.
The link may be too deep for you, but Plymouth is definitely trying to find answers, not recrimination:

Before your write the accusation:
No.
I am a married heterosexual female.
Your pro-homosexual mindset is blinding you to the truth.
Just one point - you make the claim that because animals, nay, "mammalians"*, sometimes exhibit same sex behavior, that it is natural, normal and beneficent for humans to do so.
This argument is childish and has no bearing on the topic. Mammalians often eat their own excrement or that of others, eat their own young or others' young, commit incest as a regular program, have no marriage ceremonies, do not educate their young, nor do they have any religious beliefs or ability to understand anything other than their immediate bodily wants.
To learn how to be human by studying animal behavior is to insure that human society will degrade to barbarism.
*Sound so much more scientific that way.
Well that's just not true. We see homoerotic behavior is some animals, not all.
That [anyone] would rely upon animals to 'teach humans' anything betrays its fundamental lack of any moorings or for that matter, of much in the way of common sense. To see this, let us first remember what animals do.
Animals, among other .criminal' activities:
None of these activities inform how we regard cannibalism, murder, gang rape, marriage, the rightful place of the sexes, or incest. What happens in the animal kingdom is irrelevant to what occurs in the human realm.

Humans are different from animals in countless ways. Humans speak, write, have a sense of personal history and the history of their culture (and often of other cultures as well). They think about and plan for the future, have theories about what makes the world tick (e.g., believe in God, Evolution, or alien visitors), and devise schemes of how the world 'should be' (e.g., have legal systems and cultural ideals 'everyone is equal', only a man and a woman can be married,'etc.).
...
Humans also change the world in innumerable ways (build roads, buildings, bridges, tunnels), and manipulate the earth for food and entertainment (e.g., horticulture, husbandry, planetary exploration). Animals, as near as we can determine, do none of these things. Even when they 'use tools' (like sticks or rocks), animals display only rudimentary skill at the enterprise. Source
...
If we arbitrarily pick which animal behaviors to value, then any such study from which we get insights for human behavior is a complete waste of time.
Why is it evey homo-troll cite the pygmy chimps (propaganda name:bonobos) as a exists in animal kingdom.
If homosexual advocates were serious, they would not be studying animals they would be studying humans. Humans which are in prisons who exhibit the abnormal behavior and then return to normal behavior when access to the oposite sex is againg available.
Animal studies are uniform in concluding that gender population proportions are the cause of homosexual conduct in nature. (certain fish actually change gender when the proportions are incorrect)
This has nothing to do with religion, this is pure science without politics.
