Understanding and Responding to Genuine Same-Sex Attraction

There are young people who genuinely experience same-sex attraction, and it's important for parents to approach this with love and compassion. These attractions are often hardwired in men and more emotional-based in women. To support their child, parents should seek to understand their feelings and offer assistance. Praying for them and going to God for guidance is crucial rather than attempting to manipulate or change their orientation.
