Reparative therapy is the idea that, at its root, [[homosexuality]] is not a sexual problem – it is a gender-identity problem. Normal stages of emotional development have been interrupted, and this can lead to same sex bonding in order to attain affirmation. These relationships tend to implode, leaving the homosexual hurt and confused.  One proponent of the therapy, Dr. Nicolosi, states that there is no such thing as a homosexual, but only heterosexuals that have a homosexual problem. As such, the theory maintains, homosexuality can be "cured" or remedied.<ref>http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=282</ref>
