Psychotherapy

More than 35 years after the American Psychological Association removed homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it is a little disappointing that there needs to be a study to declare that a person's sexual orientation cannot be changed, and attempting to do so often causes mental and emotional damage.

It is great to have such a comprehensive study of the past 40 years of research about sexual orientation, but that it is on the main page of CNN's website frustrates me a little. It frustrates me even more to realize that there are people who still won't accept the findings.
