would you mind sending me some of your research? There are some young people today who think since they went to college are completely stupid about some things, including the global warming hoax agenda.

To understand you have to start from the beginning when the APA removed homosexuality from the DSM in 1973. It is in “Sexual Politics And Scientific Logic: The Issue Of Homosexuality” which used to be published on online in its entirety but apparently no longer available. I found an excerpt at PFOX but organizations like them and NARTH are so unfairly discredited by the medical community I never cite them as a source. http://www.pfox.org/Removal_of_homosexuality.html. However I see you can purchase the 22 page paper from NARTH however, probably copyrighted after Socarides death. The battle between Charles Socarides and Robert Spitzer is at the heart of the controversy. The bottom line is homosexuality was removed from the DSM for political reasons not scientific reasons. What the excerpt does not include, unfortunately, is it came down to a vote by the some 10,000 members of the APA with the removal winning 56% to 42% and 2% abstaining. Science is like math, it’s replicable. You can no more vote on what 2 + 2 equals than you can with medicine. And that’s the shocking reality.
