I don't trust a piece that chooses to bash the APA for removing homosexuality from the DSM. I don't think that such a piece is produced by someone who is not looking at this from an objective standpoint, based in actual science and in the hope of real discovery.

Your mistake is assuming that the APA (either of them) are able to look at the subject objectively. I've known dozens and dozens of psychiatrists, academic psychologists, therapists and counselors. Of these, perhaps one or two have points of view I would consider anywhere near the mainstream of America. The vast majority are simply cultural relativists--many of whom have serious "issues" themselves. These are NOT the kind of folks I want defining what is or is not a mental illness.
