Medical, scientific, and government organizations in the United States and United Kingdom have expressed concern over the validity, efficacy and ethics of conversion therapy. Various jurisdictions around the world have passed laws against conversion therapy. Conversion therapy advocates argue they respect any individuals who identify as 'gay' and do not seek change.

It also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.
