To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
At the same time, a small, radical organization, B4U-ACT, is lobbying under the radar to convince the American Psychiatric Association (APA) - publisher of the bible for identifying abnormal behaviors, the Diagnostic&StatisticalManualofMental Disorders (DSM) -to declare that pedophilia should not be included in the list of abnormal behaviors.

This is precisely how it started with just plain old homosexuality. In the DSM of the mid-70's (i don't recall the exact years) homosex was abnormal. In the next edition four years later "ego-distonic" homosexuality was a disorder - it was only wrong if it bothered you. Four years later, it wasn't in the DSM at all - homosex had become normal.

I really despise the world these assclowns are creating...

Wait a sec.. let me play devil’s advocate here...

Don’t most conservatives consider homosexuality to be a “lifestyle choice” anyway? So how can a “lifestyle choice” be a mental disease? Unless you are now claiming they are born with it? You can’t have it both ways.

People don’t choose to be bipolar. People don’t choose to be depressed or have a panic disorder or have schizophrenia. Those are mental diseases. If you are claiming that homosexuality is a mental disease, then you are also blow the claim that they are choosing to be gay.
