Is Homosexuality a Mental Disorder ?

[Nosmo King]

I'm straight. And I don't see the use in repulsion. I embrace tolerance rather than blind fear and hatred. No homosexual has ever harmed me. I believe in the American principles of live and let live, personal freedom, and tolerance.

What's wrong with repulsion? People are supposed to lie to make you feel better? Lot's of heterosexual stuff is repulsive as well. If they said I had a disorder I'd give it right back to them.

When repulsion drives political decisions, tyranny follows.

True science is part of GOD'S creation. There is no conflict with GOD and true science!

Which sciences are, in your opinion, false sciences? What about the scientific method rings false to you? Would you pass science through a template of biblical approval?

Back in the dark days of slavery it was posited that Blacks were not fully human beings. There was a long track record of that belief to bolster the bigots. Is this the kind of 'track record' you cling to here?

Since you can't articulate a coherant response to what I said it's you who are the bigot. Everything I said is true. I didn't say anything about being inhuman and past wrongs are a poor excuse to justify anything. In this case it's the homosexual slander than failure to embrace it as normal is a disorder. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

society tends to move into enlightenment rather than languish in assumptions, superstition, fear and hatred. Those are the attributes of ignorance. You may be personally repulsed by homosexuality, but your opinion, not based in scientific study, is merely an opinion. You cite a statistic that 99.99999999% of people find homosexuality repulsive. Can you articulate precisely where you found that statistic?

How am I to respond to your false claims? Am I to prove a negative?

The American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973 only after years of political pressure from gay activists. The American Psychiatric association board of trustees passed this decision followed by a statement which listed among the reasons for their decision as changing social norms and growing gay rights activism . So basically, a scientific institution was coerced into changing a scientific opinion or classification due to political pressure !

Removing homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses was not triggered by some scientific breakthrough. There was no new fact or set of facts that stimulated this major change. Rather, it was the simple reality that gay people started to kick up a fuss.

In subsequent years the APA has become so politicized , that it has lost any credibility as a Scientific organization and in the words of one former APA President it is totally "Beholden to the Gay Rights Movement"

Myself and many others , who for fear of reprisals remain silent believe that Homosexuality is and always has been a Mental Disorder and Homosexuals should not be deterred from seeking Psychological / Psychiatric Help.

Medical sciences evolve. At one time, leeching and bloodletting were considered good treatments for a whole raft of ailments. Psychology is no different.

As our understanding of medical and psychological conditions improves, so does our diagnoses.

What a stupid question.

No, vice is not a "mental disorder." Vice might be considered a MORAL disorder, or might just be part of the human condition. One might say we all have vices, the question is what they are.

Is homosexuality any more destructive than gambling? I doubt it.

Ultimately, its repulsion that leads most people to discriminate against homosexuality. People project homosexual acts onto themselves but use more acceptable reasons, i.e. religion, to discriminate against homosexuals.

Look up slander. If you are hearing these words that I type; you are certifiable.

Slander is the making of false charges. Calling people homophobes or fearful is slander. You're unethical to say the least.

The ignorance is all yours since you are lying about people that don't bow to your intimidating tactics. That isn't enlightment, Einstein, that's propaganda.

Are you to be taken seriously? Apparently not. Most of mankind has not/does not view homosexuality favorably. It might not fit your world view but it's a fact. Show us where all the great homosexual relationship/marriages were in history. What's all the harping about discrimination if it's been so peachy? You people can't keep up with your own lies.

Huh? You aren't repulsed by anything? No wonder you use a bull for an avatar.

Aren't you a self-proclaimed member of a hate group?

Remind me again -- what did your avatar used to be?

Believe God's word on sick sexual perversion=== Don’t you know that those doing such things have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshipers, adulterers or homosexuals—will have no share in his Kingdom. 1CORINTHIANS 6:9

Based on that post, your avatar should be an empty space of nothingness.

Is homosexuality a mental disorder? No, but it certainly seems to cause a lot of wingnuts to go crazy.

 

[Gracie]

If it is a mental illness, sure were a helluvalot of greek and roman mental disorders back in the day. And they didn't bother to hide it, either.

 

[GISMYS]

YES!!!! sick sexual perversion goes back thousands of years to sodom and gomorrah, do we really want to see the usa go down that road??

Slander is spoken defamation. If you heard my words then you are seriously crazed.

If homosexuality is repulsive to you, you are fearful and you are homophobic. A phobia being the fear of something.

Many people find spiders and snakes repulsive due to being in fear of them.

Libel is silent due to being something written and not spoken.

I would charge you with intellectual dishonesty but that would presume intellect on your part

Is homosexuality a mental disorder? Yes, and I've never seen so many people waste so much of their time attempting to defend outright disgusting sexual deviancy. They're as much to blame for the spread of homosexuality as the homosexuals themselves. Homos need mental help, not told that their perverted behavior is OK.

It is not a mental disorder, no matter what you think.
