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.
同性恋是一种性取向，它引起了很多敌意，被神话所包围，并且常常被视为一种疾病。家庭医生在将事实与幻想分开时，将能够更好地治疗大约 10%的同性恋患者。最近的研究表明，同性恋者过着各种各样的生活方式，他们患精神病的比例并不比异性恋者高，但他们容易受到敌对社会带来的压力的影响。
