OBJECTIVE Some homosexuals have a strong desire to change their sexual orientation to a heterosexual one. This study attempted to understand the Indonesian gay men's motivations to change their sexual orientation.

RESULTS We identified three major themes: (1) motivations to change sexual orientation, (2) strategies to change sexual orientation, and (3) internal and external factors related to sexual orientation change. CONCLUSIONS This study recommends a comprehensive support from mental health services to help individuals address the sexual orientation matters.
