Abstract:

Homosexuality is not generally regarded as a disease, which needs to be treated.

Question:

Is there a treatment for homosexuality?

Answer:

The question of whether there is a treatment for homosexuality suggests that homosexuality is seen as a disease. It is better to ask if there are possibilities for homosexuals and their surroundings to accept this sexual preference and learn how to deal with it.

Help for homosexuals is often aimed at preventing venereal diseases and AIDS. Some organizations, like the Dutch Schorer foundation and the Dutch Association for Sexual Reformation (in Dutch: " NVSH") are focused on help to homosexuals.
