'''Joseph Nicolosi''' is the founder of [[NARTH]].
Nicolosi distinguishes between
gay-identified homosexual persons
and non-gay homosexual persons. The term "gay" generally means homosexual and determined to remain that way.
Generally, advocates of homosexuality insist that being homosexual is a matter of "orientation", which they regard as immutable. Whether one is born with same-sex desires, or these desires develop in early childhood is immaterial to their viewpoint.
They regard any attempt to curb, reduce, or eliminate same-sex attraction as doomed to failure; therefore, they oppose [[reparative therapy]], even for adults who seek it for themselves.
