You are insistent that calling sexual deviancy an illness is political. It isn't; it's objective.
Homosexuality is objectively disordered, a kind of paraphilia. It just isn't natural, and is ergo disordered.
Gay activists mobbed the leadership of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association in 1972 and 1973 and achieved a political success in having homosexuality removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the standard reference of the mental health professions.
Just because they changed the text, doesn't mean they improved it. They obfuscated, they politicked, they lied. They bent the science, and they've placed guard-dog organizations stacked with their own hand-picked people to watch over and defend the definitions they debauched in 1973.
And you may not want homosexual people mistreated or their rights stripped away -- that's fine, nobody's talking about doing that, but it won't do to have them hanging around schools and Scouting and church groups, anywhere that boys gather in groups. These organizations have had persistent problems with homosexual men, and if you cater for the gays and make trouble for people who want to keep some sort of social hygienic structures in place to protect youth from adult sexual predators, then you are adding to the country's social problems.
Well said.
