Homosexual attraction is a phenomenon, relating to the attraction between members of the same sex, that is not well understood by modern psychology or sociology. The study of it has been somewhat taboo since the mid-1970s, but it raises important questions about the nature of homosexuality. Considering genes aren't the source of this attraction, what accounts for this unnatural desire?

  • Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons, a West Conshohocken psychiatrist and principal contributor to the Catholic Medical Association's book Homosexuality and Hope, identifies the major causes of same-sex attraction disorder (SSAD) in men and women. [1]
  • "Gender identity disorder in children regularly leads to same-sex attraction in adolescence," writes Dr. Fitzgibbons. "The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV of the American Psychiatric Association defined Gender Identity Disorder (GID) in children as a strong persistent cross-gender identification, a discomfort with one's own sex, and a preference for cross-sex roles in play or in fantasies." [ibid]
