Could homosexuality be considered a mental illness?

[Dragoon]

Yes. And it used to be seen as one until 1973. It was removed from the APA's list for political reasons.

The same APA that now claims masculinity is toxic so it "must be true". Ahh good old liberal biased science, they cant even decide if its 36 or 72 genders.

Funny how that goes, right ? This is what happens when an organisation gets taken over by the Left.

Yes it is a mental disease. Against nature.

No offence to gay people. They have every right to live happy.

It was in the past, but I don't think it's a mental disorder. Animals exhibit homosexuality too, after all. I'm sure someday they'll figure out it has something to do with genetic mutation. My grandfather thought it was nature's way of culling.

There has been inadequate treatment (hormones) for whom it characterizes as disease. Is a strong sexual deviance and unconscious attributed in childhood. For a homosexual to have another man around is a matter of survival, his father failed in this function.

You it is confusing sexual relations same sex (shortages of females) with homosexuality (rejection of the opposite sex).

This is a common misinterpretation. Homosexuality in animals is not that , but a sign of a fight for dominance and a behavioral issue.

[TheOldNorth]

Homosexuality (especially that of man) is a sexual drift caused by disturbance in family rearing (the father was strange, does not like the son, etc...). This child when he grows up will never be a complete man, not fault the homosexual its deviation. I have nothing against homosexuality, but I can not support something that is a deviation and it is not natural.

How was this person born normal (including attraction to the opposite sex), but the deviation was noted later and does not cause chemical imbalance in the brain. Can not be considered a disease. Saying that a person was born homeosexual was a lie to people accept .

The radical difference in behavior leads me to believe that it is actually a problem with some chemical or signal imbalance, because gays of each gender tend to act more like the opposite gender then their peers (also it was kind of proven that there was some brain differences between gays and straights) but this isn’t to say its natural, quite the contrary, it’s a medical disorder

To Support Gay Life Style They Need Animals Example .
