Here is a link to the newest brochure from the American Psychological Association on Sexual Orientation. This is great to give to your parents if they think homosexuality is a mental illness or if they have questions about "reparative therapy". http://www.apa.org/topics/sorientation.pdf
Thanks becky, but do you know if there's any spanish verson somewhere? I'm pretty sure my Dad will want me to go to a counselor to de-gayinitize me.
:eusa_clap Thanks Becky! there are a lot of people in this world who needs to read this. And since I'm a psychology major.....
Thanks for all the good feedback. This is a great site and I'll pass it along to anyone who I think might need it. Best of luck to all of you.
