Do you mean, classified by APA's DSM-IV? No, homosexuality is not classified as any kind of mental illness, and has not been since 1973.

I think there's something called "sexual orientation dysphoria," which means being unhappy about your sexual orientation. That's considered the mental illness: being an unhappily gay. They want you to be happy.

Pedophilia, called in the DSM 'pedophilic disorder'" is still listed as a disorder. So far.No special separate classification for same-sex or other-sex.

So, Michael Jackson, who likes boys of the same sex isn’t ( how to put it ), considered gay?
