I think you would have more success finding homosexuals who believe homosexuality to be out of alignment with God’s will for man.

Mentally ill people, regardless of their illness, rarely believe they are the ones that are ill.

I doubt it’s safe to try to find people the way you are trying to do so. The gay activists would damage/destroy anyone claiming to be gay who believes it is a mental illness.

This is the first time I have posted so please forgive me if I have this topic in the wrong place

First time posting on a brand spanking new account posted today.

Right. Like we don't know what trolling is here at FR?

I suspect your time here will be quite short.

In the 1970s the APA changed the classification of homosexuality so it was no longer considered mental illness and many psychology and psychiatry organizations all over the world have followed. However, there was little basis at that time to think it should be changed and that decision has faced criticism as being political more than scientific.

The APA changed the designation to protect their own skins. The Homosexuals gathered en masse and showed up at their meetings. They threatened them, they called them at their homes, they disrupted their work, whatever it took to force them to remove it from the list of mental disorders.

What the APA did, they did for the purpose of protecting themselves from further intimidation. They simply knuckled under to the Gaystapo.

I once (1990’s) had lunch with a closeted gay. We discussed the ADA and medicine. I borught up that if gays hadn’t pressured the shrinks to change thieir status, they would now have equal rights under the ADA. The look on his face was priceless.

You have a serious mental defect.

Anne Heche stated that she was mentally ill at the time of her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. Of course she also suffered mental illness before and after that relationship but she went on to a long-term relationship with a man.

"In that vein I was wondering if anyone knew of any homosexuals who believe homosexuality is a mental illness or at the very least think that the 1970s decision by the APA was wrong..."

They'll try to remain anonymous and have other people wrong you for them. That's when you find the answer. Did you find the answer?

[familyop]

A more workable way is that of finding or creating a discussion medium that does not allow their activism.

If you want to research psychiatry that is based on little research you need to go back way farther than homosexuality. I suppose you could get right to Freud but then, I guess, you would be back to homosexuality, if that was where you wanted to be, anyway. Which causes me to ask why in the first place?

LOL. Or how about this, “How does all this make you feel?”. Dang I could BE a psychiatrist.

You can try the twitter feed and website “Gay Patriot” which is run by a couple of conservative men. I don’t know if they think being gay is a mental illness but they are dead set against the gay agenda. They also have a huge list of links to gay subjects (as well as non-gay issues).
