[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page examination of the predominant views among professional organizations like the American Psychiatric Association regarding the causes of homosexuality and potential treatments. Emphasizes that views of professional organizations have evolved considerably over time. This evolution has occurred both in response to changing societal views on homosexuality and on emerging research regarding homosexuals behavior, the biological and societal causes of this behavior, and potential therapies for that behavior. The growing gay lobby has had an influence as well in that they typically oppose reparative therapy. The previously predominant view that homosexuality is an aberrant condition which can be treated is declining and an approach geared at allowing the homosexual to accept who they are.

Does a Gay and Lesbian Community Exist?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses whether or not a Gay and Lesbian community truly exists
in America and what exactly that means. Those who would question
whether or not a Gay and Lesbian community actually exists would
be remarkably hard pressed to prove that it doesn’t. With
celebrity admission of homosexuality, the changes in the
political structures of society, and the ongoing sense of
acceptance throughout numerous “mainstream” social institutions
such as those associated with religion or higher learning, the
existence of the Gay and Lesbian community cannot be discounted.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
