The only reason homosexuality isn't STILL considered a form of mental illness is because it upsets gay people.

I'm sure the cure isn't much more complicated then the hormonal treatments they give someone who wants a sex change. We just need to examine the chemical and hormonal differences between the brain of a gay man and a heterosexual and treat it accordingly. In the end, I'm sure it can be treated just like any other form of mental illness.

 No, thats not the reason at all. The reason it changes was due to scientific inquiries determining that it wasn't an abnormal mental state that can be cured. It is a naturally occuring phenomenon of a healthy mind. You are welcome to disagree of course, but I have a few degrees and a ton of people who go by the title "Dr." to back me up.

 

I see they must have changed the definition of the word "abnormal" to protect the "feelings" of those afflicted by it.

We could end all the hate by just curing it.

 



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
