Not born this way: The facts, plus help available
Without any reputable evidence, the entertainment culture, uneducated media, and sexual activists have seduced today's teenagers, in particular, to believe that people are born homosexual.
However, science has found no biological basis for homosexuality, bisexuality, or transsexuality.
Study after study has found the “LGBT” lifestyle to be unhealthy, with the highest rate of sexually-transmitted diseases, and higher cancer rates and earlier deaths.
While all people are worthy and valuable, the fact is people are not "born this way," as a popular song insists.

Causes of homosexuality
Homosexuality is neither genetic nor a “choice”
Exodus Global Alliance article
No one can decide that they will experience opposite-sex or same-sex attractions. Instead, sexual orientation is shaped and reshaped by a series of many choices and response to circumstances in one’s life and enormous social and cultural pressures.
From Isolation to Relationship to Intimacy
Exodus Global Alliance article
Homosexuality grows out of our responses either to unmet needs early in life or to trauma of some sort -- often abuse. Essentially, these responses are defensive. "You will not hurt me again." or "I will meet my own needs."
Child Molestation and Homosexuality
Family Research Institute article
Bisexuals or homosexuals claimed much more frequent sexual contact with caretakers, and homosexuality was disproportionately implicated in sexual events under caretakers’ charge.
Does Incest Cause Homosexuality?
Family Research Institute article
As opposed to an evolutionary genetic hypothesis, these data support the alternative that homosexuality may be learned.
Shame and Attachment Loss: The Practical Work of Reparative Therapy
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi book review
Dr. Nicolosi recounts how several of his clients lacked secure attachment with parental figures and experienced inadequate masculine identity as children. Consequently, shame set in, and dominated each child’s psyche during those vulnerable early years…To overcome shame and attachment loss, Dr. Nicolosi suggests that the therapist help the client identify emotional mind-body states, and explains how the client, if consciously aware of these states, can interrupt any of them. The opposite of the shame state is “assertion”. When the client is in an assertive state, he can avoid the following sequence of events: 1) shame, which can lead to what Dr. Nicolosi calls (2) the “grey zone”, which in turn is often followed by (3) homosexual enactment.
