Didn't Lincoln tell this story?:
Grandpa asked his Grandson, 'See that cow over there?'
How many legs does it have?
Grandson responds, "four"!
"That's right", says Grandpa.
"Now", he asks, "If we called her tail a leg, how many legs would that cow have?"
Thinking quickly the boy responds, "five!"
Disappointed, Grandpa makes his point, "Now son, just because we call his tail a leg doesn't make it one."
That cow still only has four legs!"
I bet they are liberals too LOL.
The most liberal sexologist in the country (Albert Ellis) considers it a mental illness. See his "Homosexuality: Its Causes and Cure." That's good enough for me.
Although homosexuality has traditionally been considered a psychological disorder the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses over thirty years ago
_________________________________________________________
30 years ago they made a mistake.
For thousands of years homosexuality was considered a disorder and worse. It's time for the APA to take a another look based on the crucial evidence that has come out in the last 30 years.
Did they include liberalism? :)
No, homosexuality is not a "mental disorder". It is evil and the worst kind of perversion.
Must be pretty different from the guy-girl thing, then. ;^)
Seriously, are posters here suggesting that heterosexuals aren't crazy? I'm an old fart but I remember that part well enough.
Trying to put a square peg in a round hole is not a sign of an impairment of judgment??!!!
According to the new head of the Episcopal Church, homos are born with a 'gift' and they are 'blessings' to each and every one of us.
Homosexual think tank? So a nothing closseted one person "think tank" is given credibility.
The APA also considers pedophilia non-harmful as long as the molester is "well adjusted."
The military has this correct.
It is a psychological disorder for anyone who was born the sex they now are.
However, for those who were born with both sexes and had one removed as a baby, this is where "orientation" is one I leave alone.
Did the dr who moved to remove homsoexuality from the DSM actually renoune the original view and now says treatment of homosexuality should be taken seriously?
I think this is a good opportunity to show this is a treatable behavior like any other sexual fetish.
The only thing that's changed is that the Pentagon has never bought into this PC bullroar.
pillow biting is a disease?
Doesn't the APA also state that beastiality is no longer a mental disorder--unless you choose to feel bad about doing it? The APA is in dire need of intensive therapy.
Yes -it is...
Looks like a good opportunity to insert some reality into the equation -maybe a military sponsored study untainted by the APA Kinsey cult of personality homosexologist moonbats?
More on the latest delusional homosexual activists encounter glimpses of reality and become enraged news story...
That's a given....sane folks do get this!!! Boy, we've got sane folks in our pentagon. ;o)
Every female homosexual that I have ever met was raped or molested.
They deserve our pity. If only the psychologists were competent, they could get help.
