Prenious to 1973 homosexuality was listed in the diagnostic manuals and texts as a serious mental disorder. It was delisted although about 70% of psychiatrists still beleived it to be a mental disorder. In successive years and generations increasingly few mental health professionals accept it as a disorder as sales movements from the media and homosexual liberation fronts have taken hold.
Most arguments for or against homosexual rights hinge on whwther or not homosexual9ity is viewed a form of pathology.
