World Health Organization homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses. In addition, driven medportal.ru historical overview, the various attempts to treat at the beginning of the XX century did not give any results. Although currently there are sexologists and psychiatrists, taking for treatment of homosexuality. But as long as the author is not known homosexuals who feel a need for healing.
It is easy to notice that among gay men are often found subtle body - thin and fragile in appearance, with a developed musculature. And among lesbian women meet and very masculine.
