Homosexuality is a sexual preference which arouses a great deal of hostility, is surrounded by myths, and is often viewed as a disease. In separating fact from fantasy, family physicians will be better able to treat the approximately 10% of their patients who are homosexual. Recent studies show that homosexuals lead a variety of lifestyles, do not suffer from more psychiatric illness than do heterosexuals, but are susceptible to stresses induced by a hostile society.
