Historically, homosexuality became not-a-mental-illness in 1973/1974 when the American Psychiatric Association, lead by gay psychiatrists, decided to declare it not-a-mental-illness. When the matter was put to a vote before the AOA membership, about 1/3 of psychiatrists voted that it was not-a-mental-illness (there were many abstentions).

There is little funding for and consequently there are relatively few studies regarding mental and physical illness in gays.

"Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation. The National Health Interview Survey, which is the government’s premier tool for annually assessing Americans’ health and behaviors, found that 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual."

At 2.3% -- these are truly mice that roar.

"At 2.3% -- these [gays] are truly mice that roar."

It's not the 2.3% who call themselves "gay" who have all the political and social power: it's the majorities of straights who promote and expand the LGBT agenda. By far the most supporters of the gay sex/gender ideology are straight.

How did that happen? Many factors, but basically it's because only a minority of "straight" people support --- in theory or in practice --- natural sex.

Let's face it, natural sex is procreative. At least 80% of straight people --- contraceptors --- have already chosen decisively against it.

It's straight people, overwhelmingly, who changed the bodily significance and consequences of male-female sex and thus the definition of marriage. They are allied with gays who do the same.

Within our lifetime --- and I'm speaking even of the oldest among us --- the only people who won't accept the mainstreaming of gay copulation will be the ones who never accepted the mainstreaming of contraceptive copulation.
