===Sexual orientation change efforts=== {{Main|Sexual orientation change efforts}} Sexual orientation change efforts are methods that aim to change sexual orientation, used to try to convert homosexual and bisexual people to heterosexuality. Scientists and mental health professionals generally do not believe that sexual orientation is a choice.<ref name="pediatrics2004" /><ref name="Kersey-Matusiak"/> There are no studies of adequate scientific rigor that conclude that sexual orientation change efforts are effective.<ref name="apa2009">American Psychological Association: [http://www.apa.org/about/governance/council/policy/sexual-orientation.aspx Resolution on Appropriate Affirmative Responses to Sexual Orientation Distress and Change Efforts]</ref>
