Ping!
Same Sex Attraction Disorder = 100%.
And the left want these kinds of people adopting children with no holding back??
Homosexuality = Mental Disorder = Liberalism.
How can a scientific study miss 57% of the phenomenon it is studying?
Guessing a study of the DUmmies would show similar results
Is anyone surprised at these results?
Mental problems included anxiety, sleep disturbance, panic attacks, depressive moods or thoughts, problems with memory or concentration and compulsive behaviour or obsessive thoughts.
"Norton, you are a mental case........"
Oh, for Heaven's sake! If you surveyed 1,000 people randomly, an honest response would reveal that 100% had at some time experienced "anxiety, sleep disturbance, depressive moods or thoughts, problems with memory and concentration ..."
This "study" doesn't show that homosexuals are disturbed ... it shows that "psychology" has revealed that *everyone* is "disturbed."
Now tell us something we DIDN'T know already.
So, it takes a British psychiatry study to tell us common folk what we already knew.
Hate to rain on the parade, but by this criteria, I doubt we'd do as well.
BUMP
This would fit in with the anecdotal observation that homosexuals tend to have much higher than average IQs. (The impression is backed up by the fact that median income for homosexuals is much higher than for the rest of society).
There is a fairly strong correlation between high IQs and mental instability, and it makes sense that sexual deviancy would be a marker for those who suffer from it.
Mental problems included anxiety, sleep disturbance, panic attacks, depressive moods or thoughts, problems with memory or concentration and compulsive behaviour or obsessive thoughts.That's a pretty general and broad assessment of 'mental disorder.'
One thing missing from this article is the reason for these disorders. It's conservatives and Bush! It's all their fault. Homophobia!!!!!
Don't be surpised if the fat chicks on The View or Katie Couric start interviewing people afflicted with disorders "caused by Bush." And I don't mean the lower hemisphere Bush.
This is sooooo my sister. (the one that uses the Cleveland Diocese website as an excuse for her lesbian lifestyle)
She has been in and out of hospitals since she was 23. She is now 51. By not telling doctors and hospitals of her past records, she has been treated for everything from Pseudo Tumors to Lupus.
The only thing she has not been treated for is what she has. Munchausen Syndrome.
She even scratched her wrist and said that she attempted suicide to a friend on the phone. That friend called her Psych and the police showed up at my house. I was at church and her 10 year old daughter was having a sleepover. Great. I came home to the cops hauling her away and had to explain it to the parents coming to pick up their girls!
It was a shock to her when she realized that when one is committed in Ohio, they are there three days. Realizing she would lose her job with Cleveland Schools, she begged me to get her out.
What a mess that was!
The study found mental disorders in forty three percent of the gay/bi/les population. They just didn't look hard enough to find it in the other fifty seven percent.
By those criteria, 43% of ANY group probably qualify as disordered.
The study found that 31% of respondents also attempted suicide.
That statistic is more relevant, I think. The now archaic definition of "Gay" definitely doesn't apply to those folks.
That's strange, you mean its not 100%?
