Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Avoid this book on the basis a dated and harmful passage on page 144 that states that homosexuality is "related to a failure in identification" and that parents of homosexual children should "seek professional help at the earliest possible moment". Their view of the cause of homosexuality is out of mainstream thought, and it implies that something wrong happened. The main reason for need for any counseling would be if homosexuality is causing adjustment or self-acceptance problems. This is not what the author's have in mind. Following the author's advice fails to honor your childs true nature, and certainly would be detrimental to the development of his/her self esteem.
Output (English): Negative
