Homosexuality is mental illness folks, nothing more.

Absolutely agree. You need look no further than Chastity/Chaz Bono to see that its brain is seriously mis-wired.

Yet, I also believe that there is an element of choice involved. While these people may have brains which malfunction in this area, they could say no to those impulses. Like any other destructive impulses, once thoughts are allowed to become actions, gradually, the brain becomes "hard-wired" and the behaviors become worse.

All humans have urges, lets face it just about every man ever born has the urge and desire to have sex with every attractive woman he meets. That of course does not mean every attractive women they meet would have sex with them, but the urge is certainly there.

Most men however do not engage in trying to have sex with every attractive woman they meet in their lives, because they have control over their urges.

Homosexuals and their apologist imply because they have the urge they should not be judged for fulfilling it. ANd its nonsensical.

Nymphomania for example is a recognized mental illness, no one would suggest its a miswiring from birth, its recognized and treated as a mental illness. However if you are gay man who exhibits the exact same behaviors as a female diagnosed as a nymphomaniac you just have a different sexual “orientation”.. which is of course nonsense.

Its a mental illness folks, it manefests itself in varying degrees, but that’s what it is. No study ever done has proven homosexuality is anything but a mental illness, but for political reasons in the 70s it was removed from the DSM. Its removal had absolutely nothing to do with scientific evidence, it was purely political and politics are why it is still banned from the DSM today.
