Families, friends, and religious leaders of men with same–sex attraction (SSA) often find themselves bewildered and overwhelmed as they try to make sense of this challenging issue.

Receive a framework for understanding the biological, emotional, and developmental influences that underlie same–sex attraction and a model of how change occurs

Have the opportunity to gain insight, feel strengthened, and embrace new possibilities for personal growth
