The title of the article is a bit odd. We don't normally call something a "disorder" on the basis of medical consequences. People with an inclination to take part in dangerous sports, drive fast cars or climb mount Everest are many times more likely to die young than the rest of us but nobody considers them disordered.

The whole issue of homosexuality needs to be de-medicalised. It is an issue of WORLDVIEW and should be discussed in terms of ethics, not science.

I do agree with looking at it as a WORLDVIEW not through the lens of science. The author of the article is just trying to convey that there are horrible consequences to choosing this lifestyle. I had never heard about anal cancer. Have you heard of this? That is why I felt the article needed to be available. It is about awareness

I don't see schools promoting dangerous sports or extreme activities that could shorten someones life except for homosexuality. They consider homosexuality like it as an innate trait without considering the horrible outcome that could occur when one even engages in this activity ONE time. How irresponsible is that.
