It was never a medical decision and thats why I think the action came so fast It was a political move. Thats how far weve come in ten years. Now we even have the American Psychiatric Association running scared. Barbara Gittings, Pro-homosexual Activist
Introduction
Homosexuality advocates like to appeal to position statements published by American mental health organizations to fortify their bogus claims concerning homosexuality issues. One would expect such professional groups to be a reliable source of unbiased information on such matters and that their official positions would be based on the most up-to-date and scientifically sound and objective research available. Unfortunately, where matters of homosexuality are concerned, this is not the case. Lets take a look at how our mental health organizations have become political slaves of the homosexual movement.
The Take-over of the American Psychiatric Association (APA)
Beginning in the 1960s and continuing through the 1980s, radical homosexual activists, both within the organization and from without, conducted an organized campaign to transform the APA from a relatively open-minded, objective professional organization to a demonstrably biased, political mouthpiece for the homosexual movement (3, 7, 10). The most comprehensive and heavily documented record of these events including numerous first-hand, published accounts is a book (11) written by Ronald Bayer, a psychiatrist who is sympathetic with everything the homosexual activists did and applauded the ultimate outcome of their activities (3); these are published, historical facts. I will mention here a few of the most important developments in this campaign.

The next “frontier” is pedophilia.
They’ve already broached the subject,
creating reports showing “beneficial” effects of “adult-child sex”.
I know, but I don’t even want to think about it.
Polyamory may be ahead of pedophilia.
May be, but I know their end goal is grown men buggering little boys.
And this is why the mental health profession has made no real progress in treating the truly mentally ill for decades.
It’s run by a cabal with an agenda.
In the pioneering days of homosexual activist activity in the 1980's huge swaths of homosexuals were being wiped by the disease. With President Reagan adamantly refusing to use Federal funding towards AIDS research, they proceeded to concoct a campaign of fear-mongering among straight, whites demonstrating the high risk of AIDS they were susceptible to from their sexual partners in order to get Federal funding for research and development. Despite the fact that Straights were hardly at risk during sexual activity due to biological reasons the consequences of the fear-mongering wildly succeeded to getting the Federal governmental to finance the research which led to the development of cocktail of drugs in which stopped the dying of AIDS carriers, brought their life expectancies near normal.
They've used their expertise to expand state laws to recognize gay marriages, and other campaigns in which gays were provided equal rights.
But the most egregious aspect of the homosexual activist movement is the illegal prevention of using therapy to cure those with homosexual tendencies in having them freed from the tyranny of the homosexual lifestyle they've been cursed with, to live the normal, fulfilling life of heterosexuality they were destined to live as and enjoy.
American Medical Association Drug Cartel.
The same folks who’ll be managing information for firearms background checks, if certain bills pass.
“...mental health profession has made no real progress...”
Way back in the 1970s I knew a girl at Western Kentucky University who went to a “shrink”. Not only did this “doctor” have sex with her but he also had sex with her best friend who was also a patient.
So in addition to a political agenda there is also plenty of self-interest with some “mental health professionals”.
I haven't kept up, since junking my APA membership, but I would bet somewhere they have come out in support of government climate control and "sustainable" economics as well. The articles conclusion is valid. These organizations no longer even work to keep up the pretense of being based on science. Their position papers cannot be trusted.
yes, I can certainly see this as a solid possibility. When I first went off to college in the early ‘70s, I wanted to major in psychology—but quickly discovered that the profs who were my instructors in that area were all VERY weird, so I just as quickly changed my major (Education with a Business minor).
It’s that gradual creeping into every aspect of our lives in such a stealthy way that we don’t realize how bad it is until we are totally overtaken. Sad for our society, sad for our world.
There is no good outcome to homosexuality or lesbianism or transgenderism or transexualism. Those afflicted might want to pretend otherwise, but just because they choose to redefine “normal” doesn’t make it so. And, just because a foolish world goes along with that does it make it so either. It’s just a problem that spirals out of control.
Does this world need a Savior? You can bet it does...and I pray He comes quickly this second time around!
What enrages me is that we have made virtually no progress in treating congestive heart failure (other than by taking pee-pills) for over thirty year while dumping millions of federal dollars up the azz-hole for one of the most preventable diseases known to mankind.

Good history lesson about why homosexuality is no longer a mental illness. The profression of psychiatry got hijacked.
Anyone wanting on/off either ping list, freepmail me.
The same is seen in the trend toward all LBGTA. An effimate male sees a counselor. Instead of self-esteem counseling or discussion of prior abuse, he decides he’s homosexual OR a woman in a man’s body. The person gets warped, but the degree depends on the agenda of the counselor.
I asked a male coworker who came out as transgendered, “If you’re not a straight man, why not just be gay? Why have surgery?”
I was later grateful that my workplace and the individual compromised - no women’s bathroom rights until AFTER the surgery.
How do we explain the epidemic of heterosexual AIDS transmission in African countries, which has orphaned so very many children?
There was one of those in Philadelphia in the 70s. Married, with children, and a former Southern Baptist minister. Several of my friends got burned along with the long-suffering wife. At least he left the ministry before starting his "sex, drugs 'n' rock'n'roll" agenda. Funny, he looked like Howdy Doody, and sounded like a backwoods cracker.
Along with mainstream religious denominations, prominent universities, the news media and all foundations and unions. It's just the same Satan over and over again, going where good values are upheld and tearing them down. Eventually there will be a cataclysm.
