There is a great deal of evidence that indicates that homosexuality, for most people, is a serious psychological disorder which results from difficulties in growing up and/or from sexual molestation during the teen years. There is a great deal of evidence that the condition can be cured for many, and that it can often be prevented. This resource will be valuable to many parents who do not want their children to grow up homosexual.

Excerpt from NARTH's website: Today, children from kindergarten through college are being taught that homosexuality is a normal, healthy lifestyle option with no disadvantages other than society's disapproval. Sexually confused teenagers are encouraged to investigate homosexual relationships when they are too young to make critical lifestyle decisions. If they seek counseling, they are told that change from homosexuality is impossible.

Gender-disturbed children are no longer helped to become more comfortable with their own biological sex, or with the same-sex peers they have been avoiding. Instead, counselors tell their parents, "Your child is fine--the only problem is with society."

It is NARTH's aim to provide a different perspective. Particularly, we want to clarify that homosexuality is not "inborn," and that gays are not "a people," in the same sense that an ethnic group is "a people"--but instead, they are (like all of us) simply individuals who exhibit particular patterns of feelings and behavior.

When gay advocates reframed the public debate as a discussion about "who one is" rather than "what one does," they successfully intimidated dissenters by casting them as personally bigoted and hateful. As a result, most people who defend the reality of male-female design have been embarrassed into public silence.

my response to someone telling me that they're gay because of heredity? "who, pray tell, did you inherit it from? your parents obviously found it appealing to have sex with each other, as did their parents, and so on."

at one point, psycology was largely devoted to curring homosexuality. now a days though, many liberals (who like to have distorted views of reality) tend to ban (and even take out of books) the ideas that it is a mental disorder. why on earth would a man have a "natural" urge to have sex with something that cant help him procreate? im sorry, but all my instincts in finding (and gawking) at women tend to lean towards "could her body support a baby?" thats why most men like the girls with hips. thems is child-bearin' hips! its natural to want to continue the species, it's not natural to want to do something as pointless as have sex with something that would by its own nature, provide no beneficial means to the rest of the world.

The homophobes--those that so fear homosexuals that they bow and scrape to their every whim--are going to have a fit about this book.

Mega bumps. The Nicolosi's are incredibly brave to release a book like this. They will be slandered up the east coast and down the west. They will receive hate mail, death threats, and be confronted by frothing angry members of the gaystapo for the rest of their lives.

Yet this book has the potential to be a great boon to parents and to society in general. Based on what the homo-promo crowd is attempting to do in the Boy Scouts, schools, our churches and synagogues, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters, is there any doubt that they are after our children? We must NOT let our children be homosexualized. is in

I don't normally involve myself in these threads (at least not since a long long time ago) but I would like to at least point out a bothersome flaw in the article.

Nowhere does the author present any info supporting his claim. Now before you accuse me a being a PC liberal or something - I'm not debating whether or not homosexuality is biological or environmental based (It's probably a mixture of both) but the article essentially presents his hypothesis without any clinical evidence. Even if his method does "work", how well does it work vs. doing nothing or doing something other method? Doesn't seem to be answered.
