I would agree with the psychiatrist. If a person was suffering from a "phobia" i.e; a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it, then they are suffering from a mental disorder.
However I have yet to ever meet or even hear an account of anyone suffering from a phobia of sodomites, gays or whatever you want to call them.. I know lots of people who are revolted by their lifestyles and recreational practices (find out what 'hot carl' and 'golden showers' are.) I know lots of people who have rational fears of the diseases those people carry due to their filtthy lifestyles. I don't know of anyone suffering from a 'phobia' though. If you can offer honest evidence of such a person (Christian or otherwise), let me know.
