I don’t like broccoli. Does that make me broccophobic or simply broccodislikic?

I don’t fear homosexuals. I simply find their behavior disgusting.

On the other hand, I am, in fact, Islamophobic. Those guys are trying to cut my head off. I fear that.

Are Homophobes Mentally Ill? Science Says ‘Maybe’

Allowing, for a moment, that that statement actually IS science (*chuckle*) then I will revise my lifelong (since my teenage years) observation that 25% of the general population is insane to some degree, recently upped to 50%,) then the only possible conclusion is that we are ALL insane...

I expect an Executive Order any day now that since, we are all insane, we have eliminated all crime in one fell swoop, since every imbecile knows that being insane makes us immune to prosecution and punishment.

This should get really interesting...

OK
I'm insane, too!

“Just 42 years ago, homosexuality was considered a diagnosable mental illness.”


1st sentence..stopped reading...it is a mental illness and a sin(which i will never back down from for obvious reasons)...Transgender/pervo? Jenner doesn’t have mental issues? Alrighty then! I am just a dinosaur and too old for this nonsense.

We all know that homosexuals ain’t right in the head so I guess it is possible that those who don’t like homosexuals might be also. I think it all depends on what the meaning of the word is, is.

“... those who wantonly fear gay people that are being labeled as mentally ill.”

Interesting. They have turned a label “homophobia” into a reality.

I don’t know anyone who runs away screaming from homosexuals or that wakes up in the middle of the nigh convinced that homosexuals are hiding in their closet preparing to kill them or who hides behind bushes until homosexuals have walked by. Or whatever. . . That kind of behavior, if it existed, might properly be labeled “homophobia.”

Not wanting to watch two men sloppy kiss at the bus stop after a long day at work is not disabling fear.

“Yuck” is not equal to fear.

That will be next! We are living in a very dark time. There is no reality anymore what’s wrong is right and if you are a fait based person you are considered mentally ill? When will the conservative people take stand? It is getting too late to turn the tide? We will become an burned out shell in 5 years if we don’t stop this insanity!!!

...verifying, as has long been suspected, that psychology and psychiatry are political tools that have little basis in science or the scientific process.

To compound and further confuse matters, in the last few generations, mostly the mentally crippled nut jobs have gone into those professions in droves (perfectly logical, to seek self help) but blossomed instead into taking the easy road : redefining insanity. And they view it all as a job well done.

Simply adding fuel to the fire.

A phobia is an irrational or unreasonable fear. Your fear is rational and reasonable.

Yep, sounds alot like “science” from the politburo.
Science every bit as good as Climate Change “science”.

Time to send people to Siberia accoding to the vile jack-booted Left.

By the way, this knucklehead probably doesn’t know that homosexuality was considered a mental illness until 1973. Then gay activists got after the authorities to make it no longer deemed a mental illness.

I was in the military during Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell.

One morning, there was yellow police tape on the door of one of the barracks rooms. Turns out one soldier who was ‘unsure of his sexuality’ had started to horseplay with another soldier, and tried to subtly cop a feel of his man parts.

And a violent fight ensued.

Having well reasoned concerns over integrating homosexuals into all aspects of our society is logical - not a mental disorder.

The Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM) is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Society for Sexual Medicine. Besides the latter society, it is also an official journal for the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health. The editor-in-chief is Irwin Goldstein (University of California, San Diego). The related open access journal, Sexual Medicine, was launched in 2013.

******

Dr. Irwin Goldstein isn’t squeamish about describing operations on private parts. He remembers, for instance, that he performed his first penile implant on a patient in 1976. “I just did one yesterday,” he added.

Goldstein, 63, director of San Diego Sexual Medicine and director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital, has had a long career providing medical help to those with sexual problems. He has worked on understanding the physiology of the male erection, and has played key roles in the development of drugs for both male and female sexual dysfunction.

During his career, Goldstein has treated many patients for problems that used to be poorly understood and highly stigmatized — though much work remains, both in conducting research and removing shame.

“Helping people, now both men and women, with getting their sexual lives in order, and getting that joy from them — smiling and hugging their partner — there’s nothing like this field,” Goldstein said. “It’s truly the most amazing experience to be involved in all of this.”

International meetings began to take place to discuss such advances. Goldstein and Krane held such a meeting in 1988, calling themselves the International Society for Sexual Medicine. The organization then started a journal, the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Goldstein became editor in 2003, a position he still holds.

You can also buy sex toys and aids at Goldstein’s facility. He compares these tools to hearing aids for people with hearing problems, as they are strategies for “a more meaningful, full experience.”

“My nametag says ‘Irwin Goldstein, physician,’” he said. “It says ‘sexual medicine.’ I am living my dream right now.”

The only question will be who gets on the train.

question(s).

The other would be, "who gets to drive the train?" and build the camps, when all the mentally disabled are excused from real work, and the creators and providers are behing barbed wire?

You can tell the contrived “phobias” (Islamophobia, homophobia, etc) from genuine phobias (claustrophobia, agoraphobia, etc.) by simply noting which ones it’s politically correct to use as an accusation.

” uber-religiosity “

Marxist/Nazi science comes up with some interesting terms to justify their antisemitism and their hatred of Christians and God.

“Homophobe” is only a pseudo-scientific term. It is a political term designed to stifle disagreement with a political agenda. As such, the idea that science “may” consider it a mental illness is nothing more than more Leftist Groupthink.
