| Michael-5 said: For someone whose volunteered in sex clinics and mental health centers (CAMH in Canada), I'm againt homosexuality because it is a psychological disorder classified as "Sexual Orientation Disturbance" in the DSG III "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Also because it's a non-threating or violoent, and livable sexual disorder, if a cure were to ever become invented, it's the homosexuals choice to use it or not. So, if a cure comes up in 10 years, there is no reason why gay marriages should not be honored. So Homosexuality, I'm against, it's a disorder, simple as that. |
Please explain to me how homosexuality is a psychological disorder. A psychological disorder usually must either 1.) prevent the person from functioning in society, 2.) cause the person discomfort, or 3.) endanger the self or others. Homosexuality satisfies none of those criteria, so how exactly is it a psychological disorder?
You could say homosexuality is a psychological disorder because it's uncommon. Well, if that's your criteria of a psychological disorder, then you must also classify left-handed people or monks as having a psychological disorder, merely because they are uncommon. By that token, are you 'against' left-handedness as well? Probably not.
So what is it about homosexuals that you're against that you can't say the same about other uncommon people (like left-handed people, and monks)?
