The problem is that "treatment' for homosexuality has proven to be quackery.
The Founders gave us the tools to deal with this: It's called "freedom of association." We will never eliminate homosexuals, and it is probably counterproductive to try. But we don't have to let them in to every aspect of society, especially those invovling young boys, either.
I was listening to a re-run of Law and Order on TNT. The defendant's lawyer was trying to get a racist murderer off on the novel grounds that racism is a mental illness, and the defendant should get treatment, not jail time and execution. This lawyer was examining the prosecution's psychiatrist, who denied that racism was a mental illness. The dialogue went something like this:
Lawyer: "Why won't psychiatrists reclassify racism as a mental illness?"
Psychiatrist: "Because there is no scientific evidence indicating that we should do so."
Lawyer: "But there was no scientific evidence indicating that homosexuality wasn't a mental illness, yet you reclassified that! Why?"
Psychiatrist: "True; that was a reaction to a changing social environment and consensus."
I thought that was a interesting exchange to go out from a mass-media popular program.
Psychiatry hasn't helped society in this issue at all, and I for one doubt that the practice ever could.
In 1973, The American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality as a mental disorder from the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II).
durring the same time frame, they also put PMS as a mental disorder, allowing women to kill their husbands and plead insanity, getting away with lighter sentencing.
it was just another attempt by the liberals to express hatred of all things straight, male, and white.
whats sad though, is that i can witness even my homo/bisexual friends having mental instability. i have pointed out that their is a correlation, and they deny it.
i am yet to meet a homo/bisexual who either wasnt suicidal, or raped, or just has problems at home.
i will admit to having had thoughts like that before (homosexual) and you know what? on reflection, it was also in some of the darker parts of my life. times when i felt like crawling into a ball and enjoying nothingness forever.
its sad really... a full 5-10% of our people, told by the tv daily, that their painful thoughts are normal, and that they should just live with them.
Urges. People have them all the time. For the most pert they are resisted. Occasionaly, by some, they are satisified. Like David Berkowitz, or John Wayne Gacie, among others.
The APA was 'intimidated' into 'declaring' sodomy and other homosexual acts to be no longer pathologic...
Up until DSM II...Sodomites and lesbians were considered mentally ill.....with one stroke of the pen of a compromised group of Phds and Mds.....Homosexuals were normalized...according to the APA
Wonder if they can lobby the AMA to 'declassify' AIDS.... as no longer a contagious diesease (condition)....
Psychiatry: politics masquerading as science.
From its beginning to today, without break.
All the DSM entries result from politics, and still do, hiding behind the myth of "mental illness".
Excerpted from "Mapping the Mind" by Rita Carter
In 1991 the prestigious journal Science published a study showing that the brains of a group of homosexual men who had died from Aids were structurally different from the brains of heterosexual men. The nucleus in the hypothalamus that triggers male-typical sexual behaviour was much smaller in the gay men and looked more like that in the brains of women. The author, Simon LeVay, then Associate Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Adjunct Professor of Biology at the University of California was immediately attacked by gay activists who feared that the recognition of homosexuality as a physical-based condition might lead to it being re-stigmatized. LeVay, who is himself gay, then went on to discover that the corpus callosum differs getween gay and straight men, too-in gays it was found to be bigger. Three years later a study led by molecular biologist Dean Hamer of the National Institute of Health in Washington, DC, found evidence to suggest that a specific gene-carried on the maternal line - influenced sexual orientation in men. Put together, these studies provide strong evidence that homosexuality is rooted in biology - and hostility to the idea has largely disappeared.

Most gays suffer from high self-esteem.
Some heterophobics LIED!!!

Also discussed in the following replies in the thread "Christian Group's Message Is 'Hate', Editor Says:
I believe the Hippocratic Oath requires a physician to do no harm. By ignoring science in adopting a flawed policy that homosexuality is not a sexual deviation, psychiatrists have done incalculable harm to a generation of homosexuals and to society. As such, psychiatry has ceased to be a medical science and now belongs entrenched beside chiropractic as socially acceptable quackery.
Bookmarked for later reading. Thanks for posting this.
Ask all of these psychiatrists who have small children if the want their kids to grow to be “gay”?
