Sexual orientation refers to a pattern of emotional as well as sexual attraction towards men, women, or both. When the sexual attraction is towards persons of opposite sex only then it is termed as heterosexual (straight), when the sexual attraction is only towards members of one’s own sex then it is termed as homosexual (Gay). Some people have sexual attraction towards both men and women; this is called bisexual orientation.
In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association removed the pathological diagnosis of homosexuality from DSM. Homosexuality is a normal variant of sexuality; it is not a disorder or illness.
