I've read some of the answers and for all those homophobic people out there, you should practice more a little muscle we all have inside... its called the heart.
Gayness its not a disease, its, as I've been reading, genetic... Would you cure your self if you are blond, or brunet? Have black or blue eyes?... That is being you self isn't it, so let your nephew be and help him trough out his journey, maybe you'll learn some tolerance... Well, that is if you really love your nephew

The best treatment for this situation is for you to open your mind and figure out a way to accept your nephew for who he is. You can't "cure gay", it's not a disease. Chances are, the more you try to repress him or deny who he is, the more upset and depressed you'll make him and the more you'll push him away. If you love your nephew and want him in your life, you'll find a way to accept who he is - not agree with it, not necessaily understand it, but accept it. Gay teens have one of the highest suicide rates in the country, and that's partly because no one takes the time to say "hey, I know it's hard trying to figure this all out, but I'm here for you and I'll love you no matter what." Those simple words can make all the difference.

You cannot "cure" your nephew of his gayness because it isn't a disease to begin with. A more appropriate question would have been "can I change my nephew's sexual orientation?" and the answer would be "no".
You need to look at your reasons for condemning his sexual orientation, and reconsider these in the light of modern research - which indicates that homosexuality itself isn't a disorder.
There are people who have "changed" their sexual orientation, and from what I understand - NONE of the changes were the result of homophobia, or any kind of therapy designed to change sexual orientation. Whether these were changes, or merely rediscovering one's own orientation is yet unclear.

There is no cure for Gayness he was born with it and it will not go away. The best thing you can do is love him with all of your heart and accept him as God made him.

Gayness is not a disease. It is just another sexual orientation in humans, among several kinds. Treat your nephew the same way you have been treating him. Support him in school and in his job choice. If you have questions about his lifestyle, ask him. Think back at the other relatives in your family. Were all of them straight or totally straight? Really? Think hard now. Homosexuality is just another part of the human experience, period.

The best "treatment" is to treat him as you always have, like a friend and family member. You can't cure that which is not a disease. Homophobia though IS a disease of ignorance and intolerance. You need treatment, not him.

And your nephew is the only Gay person in ?? India? Wherever? Why do you feel the calling to do anything? Mind your own business for a change. That would be interesting.

Hmmmm..... the question that's rolling around in my mind is how the hell do we cure you? I mean.... straight, homophobic, ignorant.. sheesh! What are you even on? There might be a cure for ignorance... knowledge! Homophobia is something a little tougher but the human race fears what it doesn't understand so I think you need more understanding. As for you being straight.... well there's about as much chance of curing your heterosexuality as there is of his homosexuality being cured. Utterly shameful.

Being gay is not a sickness, and cannot be cured. (Do you think someone could "cure" you out of being straight? No.)
You can guilt him into feeling bad about being the way he was created, make him feel bad for feeling they way that comes to him naturally, but you cannot stop these feelings in him completely. If you do somehow convince him not to be gay, he WILL still have those feelings and urges for the rest of his life... and he will be miserable as a result.
Do you want him to be miserable for the rest of his life?
It's your job as an older relative to love him unconditionally. If he's still a kid, he's going to have a difficult enough time dealing with prejudice from his peers and the rest of society, he shouldn't have to deal with it from his family, too.

Treatment? I didn't realize being gay was a disease. I think people like you are what cause teenagers to rebel and do crazy things like drugs, drink alcohol, or even worse, commit suicide. I think you need the treatment.
