Page "Judaism and sexual orientation" Paragraph 26

Rabbi Norman Lamm ( the Chancellor, Rosh Yeshiva of the yeshiva ", and former president of Yeshiva University, a major Modern Orthodox Jewish institution ) advocated that some ( although not all ) homosexuals should be viewed as diseased and in need of compassion and treatment, rather than willful rebels who should be ostracized.

He distinguishes between six varieties of homosexuals, including " genuine homosexuals " who have " strong preferential erotic feelings for members of the same sex ", " transitory " and " situational " homosexuals who would prefer heterosexual intercourse but are denied it or seek gain in homosexuality, and heterosexuals who are merely curious.
