@Rubang As for the tag thing, the XBL Terms of Use specifically states that sexual stuff is not allowed for a gamertag. The employee can't even follow simple rules and then has a mini depression. Personally, I would fire him as he is too busy with games instead of making them and wants to cry when he doesn't get his way.

This has absolutely nothing to do with XBox Live. He was repeatedly insulted just for being gay, at work, in person and via e-mail, and the management let it slide. If that is true, that's reasonable grounds for a lawsuit.

It was reclassified in part due to studies done at UCLA in the late 60s and early 70s. They studied a large group of homosexual men in Los Angeles, and found that the percentage of homosexuals with mental illnesses is exactly the same as the percentage of heterosexuals with mental illnesses. Mental illnesses often come in groups, or one can lead to another. So if homosexuals were mentally unstable, they would have more mental illnesses than heterosexuals. But they don't. So it was concluded that homosexuality is not a mental illness.

Did you make that up?

- Psychiatric disorders: In a Dutch study, gay men reported significantly higher mood and anxiety disorders than straight men, and lesbians were significantly more likely to experience depression (but not other mood or anxiety disorders) than straight women.[8] This difference may be caused by the stresses gay and lesbian people face stemming from anti-gay attitudes. However, a Netherlands study (where homosexuality is much more widely accepted than that in the U.S.) shows that mental health problems in homosexuals are still much higher than in heterosexuals, despite the more tolerant society.[9] [1]
- Suicide: Gay and bisexual male youths are over 13 times more likely to attempt suicide than heterosexual male youths.[5] No such difference was found between lesbian and straight female youths.[6] Gay and lesbian youth who attempt suicide are disproportionately subject to anti-gay attitudes, and have weaker skills for coping with discrimination, isolation, and loneliness, than those who do not attempt suicide.[1][7]

No I did not make it up.
Mood disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, suicide attempts? Those are all caused by the stress of having your whole town telling you you're a worthless sinful piece of shit who deserves to die and burn in hell forever, and your parents not loving you but instead kicking you out of your house. Also, it's pretty interesting how the suicide attempts are higher in gay men than in straight men, straight women, or gay women, considering how we live in a society that celebrates lesbianism and demonizes male homosexuality.

We have a winner folks. This is also a large reason why generals wan't full non-homosexual armies under their command, AFRICOM, CENTCOM, what have you. The anxiety is exacerbated on the field with gay men.

So you support the U.S. military's firing of Arabic translators for being homosexual?
More and more militaries around the world are allowing homosexuals in and discovering that they're very capable, stable, smart, and strong soldiers, even better than the unqualified criminals and dropouts the U.S. military currently prefers.

I really don't think there is a cure unless we can reprogram a person's mind somehow. It would really be going into unethical territory to try to change something like that. Then we might start to see us trying to change people's minds to manipulate all sorts of different interests and personality traits. Perhaps we can program a mind to never question authority or to work excessively on one subject matter without need for breaks. Or perhaps program a mind at birth to fulfill positions in society that are needed and them be "happy" to do so regardless of what the person's natural personality progression would have been before the reprogram. Not only would this be forcing an identity on the child but taking away the right of the family to raise it truly as their own.
I really don't think people would be willing to go that route.
I'm not even sure it is something that could even be reprogrammed. that would be implying that it is environmentally based. I'm not sure it is. I've seen really really young kids who it was obvious that they would turn out to be homosexual and they do.
There is even some evidence to the suggestion that everyone is really bi and that we are trained to shift primarily one way or another through our upbringing. Men are showered with masculine expectations and through interaction with other guys establish a barrier with women and wonder about the other side. They are expected to fulfill a strong role and as such are drawn to more fragile forms which is what the girls are traditionally expected to take on. When those roles are not strongly emphasized or when memories or events happen in such a way through either perfectionism, extreme intelligence, confidence issues, or egotism, are they more susceptible to being homosexual?

Homosexuals have a hormonal and chemical imbalance in the brain, and that would be the cause of homosexual tendencies in most cases. The cure would to restore these chemicals to the proper level. That's the same way most mental illnesses are treated such as depression or bi-polar. Brain chemistry out of whack, drugs are perscribed to fix that.
This is not brain washing / deprogramming, and is not related to the rest of your mind control train of thought. It's just making the abnormal normal.
The everyone is Bi I think is from Sigmund Freud, who was later found to be quite the fraud. Probably more then a bit batty upstairs too.

Oh come on, you HAVE to provide a link if you're gonna say something that ridiculous. You'd rather believe that the APA has declassified homosexuality as a mental illness for over 30 years as part of a political agenda to support gay rights at the expense of covering up the mental instability of millions of Americans? I doubt that would even be possible. If millions and millions of gays in America were ALL hormonally/chemically imbalanced, don't you think we'd know by now? Please give me a source for this information. I'd love to read it and see if it explains itself or not.
