Curious -- as a mental health professional, I would be interested in how one "treats" homosexuality successfully.

You tell us doc. With very few exceptions, homosexuality is learned behavior.

"You tell us doc. With very few exceptions, homosexuality is learned behavior."

The reason I'm asking is that I don't know, and neither does any other "doc." We don't have enough data to propose any effective "treatment." We certainly don't have enough data to back up your assertion that homosexuality is generally a learned behavior (although it may be). People can speculate all they like. However, when they start sending gay people in for "treatment," they'll find that there's no credible "treatment" that's been proven efficacious. It is unethical to promise "treatment" that is invasive and has no documented efficacy.
