A report, released in the autumn, presented a careful summary and up-to-date explanation of research, from the biological, psychological and social sciences, related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Its intention was to address health issues faced by LGBT populations within the US. Some key findings in the report were:
• The understanding of sexual orientation as an innate, biologically fixed property of human beings, the idea that people are ‘born that way’, is not supported by scientific evidence.
