Based on emotion, not science the American Psychiatric Association decided in 1973 that homosexuality was no longer a mental illness.

DADT recognizes that it is. These two are in conflict and must be resolved.

I say, let’s look at the science. It’s worth revisiting:

Based on emotion 16 years of cabalistic toil by dedicated homosexual practitioners of psychiatry and psychology and a few months of furious lobbying, blackmail, and political logrolling, not science the American Psychiatric Association decided in 1973 that homosexuality was no longer a mental illness.

Hope that clarifies it a little.

It had been classified as a (deviant) "paraphilia" related to necrophilia, pedophilia, and fetishism.

Which it still is, the political defeat of the unprepared, however honest, defenders of unsullied biosciences notwithstanding.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Two homosexually-oriented psychologists kept campaigning for this until they
“won.” Science was thrown in the scrap heap.

After that 1973 APA vote no mental health professional was allowed to treat anyone for unwanted same sex attraction. Helping people became a thing of the past. These potential patients were then brain washed to believe that gay was the only way. This Wikigate [coined by Michael Savage] fiasco is one big tragic outcome of the gay agenda. The guy wanted to feel like a man. First he joined the military. That must not have worked. Now this.
