Yes, it is. But one only has to watch MTV or BET music videos to see that heterosexuals in society have lost moral high ground when it comes to condemning homosexuality.

Those mental health experts were on the APA. Unfortunately, their reasons for abandoning that position were due to gay activism, not science. While even some freepers refuse to believe it, gay scientist and activist Simon LeVay admitted exactly that:
"Gay activism was clearly the force that propelled the APA to declassify homosexuality."I have LeVay's book and have verified the quote.Source: Simon LeVay, Queer Science, MIT Press, 1996, p. 224
What does this mean? It means without gay activism, homosexuality would still be classified as a mential disorder. It's quite obvious there was no science involved in the declassification.
Argh. It would still be classified as a mental disorder. :-/
LOL
<< A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder .... >>
Rubbish.
"Homosexuality" is simply a (made-up) word.
The Derangement that leads (As often as not with the "assistance" of the derangement sufferers' habitual drunkedness and/or criminal drug use and/or epidemic Alcoholism) to the depraved behaviors, including serial sodomy, associated with what is usually referred to as "homosexuality," is a mental disorder.
Just as "kleptomania" is a mental disorder.
And "theft" is a crime.
Ooooooooh my, swishers giving failing grades for not openly hugging swishers. Like that should carry any weight. How about The Center for the Study of Sexual Supermajorities in the Military giving passing with flying colors grades to the military for stopping the morale killing presence of fanny slappers in the barracks.
The Pentagon is, of course, right:
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Archives of General Psychiatry
January 2001
"RESULTS. Psychiatric disorders were more prevalent among homosexually active people compared with heterosexually active people. Homosexual men had a higher 12-month prevalence of mood disorders and anxiety disorders than heterosexual men. Homosexual women had a higher 12-month prevalence of substance use disorders than heterosexual women. Lifetime prevalence rates reflect identical differences, except for mood disorders, which were more frequently observed in homosexual than in heterosexual women. The proportion of persons with 1 or more diagnoses differed only between homosexual and heterosexual women. More homosexual than heterosexual persons had 2 or more disorders during their lifetimes.
CONCLUSION. The findings support the assumption that people with same-sex sexual behavior are at greater risk for psychiatric disorders."

Unnatural, immoral and just plain disgusting.
What next? "Air is required in order to breath" or "Too much chocolate makes you fat"?
You are both fishophobic and chocolophobic and in need of sensitivity training...and perhaps some time in a reeducation camp if that doesn't work.
If homosexuality were genetic, it would be vanishing over time. It is self destructive. Instead, if we believe the activists, it is constant or growing. This sounds like learned behavior to me.
I do not even consider it a mental disorder. I think it is a devient chosen lifestyle.
The shrinks never said it wasn't a disorder, just not a psychosis. They know that gays have all kinds of problems. The assumption--unproved--is that these are the result of prejudice.
"If homosexuality were genetic, it would be vanishing over time. It is self destructive. Instead, if we believe the activists, it is constant or growing. This sounds like learned behavior to me."
Same goes for masturbation. That shouldn't be tolerated and is the sign of moral weakness.

Well Nat, If it isn't a mental disorder why would they need mental health services?
"The Homo-lovers claim 10% across the board.
Yet I have heard figures closer to 1%. "
Makes you wonder why 99% of the entire population needs to be protected by a "marriage" amendment, since it's so small.
