consider these facts: according to the article, "Homosexuality: Fact or Fiction," "When a referendum on this was sent out to all 25,000 APA members, only a quarter of them returned their ballots. The final tally ended up being 58% in favor of declassifying homosexuality as a mental disorder." In 1977, Time Magazine polled 10,000 members of the APA at random. In the article "Sick Again", Time showed these results:

68% (APA members) said they believed 'homosexuality is usually a pathological adaptation, as opposed to a normal variation.' 18% disagreed and 13% were uncertain.
73% said that homosexuals are generally less happy than heterosexuals.
60% said homosexuals were less capable of mature, loving relationships
70% said that homosexual problems have more to do with their own inner conflicts than with the stigmatization by society at large."
These staggering facts are a window that shows how the homosexual community has tried to pervert the minds of individuals into thinking that being gay is normal. And this mindset has brought forth serious consequences.

Yes, I know. They aren't normal. They aren't healthy people - physically, mentally, spiritually ill.
It's part of the Socialist manifesto to destroy America from within. The gays don't even know that if America does become socialist, they're one of the first to be eliminated. Right now, they're being used as useful idiots for the cause.
The only problem is that they're trying to bring the innocent down into their pits of hell with them because of their own self absorbtion of misery and dispare. They want everyone else to suffer with them.

You guys are so predictable. I can see why you didn't source your "article"...it's published by the "Christian Research Foundation".

Just because some organization with a vested interest whips together a set of statistics doesn't mean they have any validity outside of their narrow propaganda purposes.

Foundations like this exist for a simple reason: to provide ammunition for the scientifically naive.

Wonder 26 year old data!
As for those numbers...I guess polls count ONLY when they support your view, but when they disagree, then they are worthless.
Either get some relevant current data, or shut up. And poll #s do not count as data.
