    Here is a partial list of the medical, psychological and counseling organizations who recognize that there are no valid indications to suggest that being attracted to one's own sex can be described as a mental health disorder, thus rendering the issue of treatment irrelevant and ethically suspect:

    American Medical Association
    American Psychological Association
    American Psychiatric Association
    American Anthropological Association
    American Academy of Pediatrics
    Child Welfare League of America
    National Association of Social Workers
    North American Council on Adoptable Children
    American Psychoanalytic Association
    American Academy of Family Physicians
    American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy
    Council on Child and Adolescent Health
    American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
    American Counseling Association
    American Sociological Association
    American School Health Association
