Former president of the Indian Psychiatric Society Dr Indira Sharma has courted controversy by claiming that homosexuality is unnatural, a statement made three days ago at an annual meet of psychiatrists.
The LGBT community has brought "talk of sex to the roads", she told Times of India. "Heterosexuals don't talk about sex. It's a private matter," she told Times of India.
The report quoted a psychiatrist who attended the summit as saying Sharma's speech took a condescending approach towards homosexuals. Sharma denied to TOI that she called for "homo clubs" to be shut down.
She said her speech was about homosexuals who were uncomfortable about their sexuality and wanted to change their sexual orientation. "She added that those comfortable with their orientation should be made aware that their behaviour was causing a lot of uneasiness in society," the report said.
Sharma, who teaches at Banaras Hindu University, reportedly stirred a hornet's nest at last year's annual meeting too, when she suggested that early marriage for women was advisable.
Indeed.
Evolution makes clear that man and woman evolved to perform two separate sexual functions.
The Bible makes clear that man and women were made by God to perform two separate sexual functions.
Therefore, in either case, there is no logical support for homosexuality. It is an abnormal condition.
While it may be ‘natural’ to be born with a physical, or let’s say a mental defect (like homosexuality), it certainly is not ‘normal.’
Homosexuality is not normal.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: LGBT people suffer from a mental disorder. Their LGBT proclamations should serve as a first step toward treatment.
Interesting.
“Universal rules were put into place for us to follow or not to our own advantage or detriment.”
Put in place by who?
Our founding fathers derived their concept of individual rights (”Natural Law”) from John Locke and the concept that life, liberty and property were granted by the Creator, that man was endowed by the Creator to have these rights, therefore, rights granted by the Creator could not be legitimately taken away by man. Rights granted by man can be taken away by man.
So, absent the Creator, we have no “Natural Rights” and what rights we do have are bestowed by man.
I understand your point, but I agree with his statement.
Meet a homosexual for the first time and within 5-10 minutes, somehow they will bring up the fact they are homosexual.
Homosexuals are all about their sexuality as if it defines the very core of their being. I think what was being said was heterosexuals don’t go around talking about their sexuality, whereas homosexuals do.
She's right again.
She's talking from the Indian context.
Yes. We all know that is very likely to happen. We should rely on the views of a psychiatrist from India!
India recently passed or re-affirmed a law against homosexual acts. I don’t know the details but basically nothing public, no proselytizing etc. Of course the fags freaked out. It is 100% condemned and loathed in India, has been for thousands of years.
Doesn’t matter where she’s from.
She’s telling the truth.
