The American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual II listed homosexuality as a mental disorder; in 1973 it was de-listed because of political pressure, not valid medical science, and we have gone down the road to perdition a hell of a long way since. Just because the fools voted to remove it from the manual of disorders doesn't mean it is normal behavior. There is evidence that suggests that it is related to the group of mental illnesses called OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorders. My observations tend to corroborate that idea.

it was de-listed because of political pressure

It was de listed when homosexuals won a majority of the APA board. It of course played into the democratic political camp as the democrats needed to squeeze a few more votes into their multicultural tent.

Whether or not it is a disorder, it is certainly not wished for on the part of new parents. If a genetic or in womb cause is ever found one can be sure that homosexuality will be eradicated from the population as quickly as was polio. (When such an event occurs, watch how quickly homosexuality goes beyond normalcy and becomes something society cannot live without. But of course we can, it is normal society that homosexuality cannot live without.)

I'm a psychology major, but--alas--at a very politically correct time, so I doubt I'll hear about this in any classes and would probably get lynched if I asked. May I ask what the evidence is that supports homosexuality being related to OCD?
