We certainly agree that there is a difference between orientation and behavior. However, I believe that orientation is relevant (i.e., someone is more likely to engage in homosexual activity if he/she is attracted to people of the same sex). If a person wants to be treated for an “orientation”, I have no problem with that, nor does the APA. However, evidence that such treatments work is pretty thin, in my assessment.

If that behavior is manifestly and substantially detrimental to, both, the individual and society, then would you not agree that a deterrent sanction on those who willing perpetrate such is in order?
