"The (American Psychiatric Association) trustees were not prepared to go that far, but they did vote to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses by a vote of 13 to 0, with 2 abstentions. This decision was confirmed by a vote of the APA membership, and homosexuality was no longer listed in the seventh edition of DSM-II, which was issued in 1974."
Maybe not bat**** crazy, but homosexuals were considered mentally ill in 1973 but considered perfectly normal in 1975. If anyone in a medical specialty other than psychiatry ever proposed eliminating lung cancer or heart disease by voting that it was perfectly normal, he or she would be considered bat**** crazy.
I have no idea what Mr. Bostian was doing while driving that train 106 MPH, and even if he wasn't using his cell phone, it's clear that the job he was being paid to do job wasn't it.
Gay bashing is no longer acceptable, though. Hell, kids can't even fight back against a bully without being excommunicated from the state church that is public school.
