When the American Psychological Association updated its brochure regarding homosexuality, the change was intended to be benign.
The original statement inside the "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understand-ing of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality" had said there is "considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality."
A revised and expanded statement notes, "there is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation."
