Being gay is not a mental disorder or illness, so it cannot be "treated" in the traditional sense. Efforts to change a person's sexual orientation, often referred to as "conversion therapy," have been widely discredited and condemned by major health organizations due to their harmful effects. Acceptance and understanding of one's sexual orientation are considered healthier approaches, promoting mental well-being and self-acceptance.

Can being gay be treated?

No. About the best homosexual "cures" can do is help people to be celibate or maybe have an unsuccessful relationship with a woman. And most of the time, they wind up doing more damage than good. "Being a gay" is not a disease or a handicap. What's important is the way you treat other people (including the person you love), not the "plumbing".
