Actually Homosexuality does still classify a disorder. Just not a psycopathic disorder because it lack 1/4 D's (Dangerous). It does fit the other 3 (Deviance, Distress, and Disfunction).

Deviance describes behavior that goes against how a society feels people should act. First of all, homosexuality isn't a behavior or action; it's a desire. Second of all, homosexuality is accepted in most First World countries; most people don't care about your sexual orientation as long as you don't push it down their throat.
But most importantly, what's inherently wrong with deviance that makes you 'against' it? Are you telling me you're against all behavior just that's not accepted in society? Do you derive all of your values from what society feels should be right? I hope not.
Homosexuality causes distress for some people, not all. And for those some people, the distress is usually caused by society, not by homosexuality itself. Regardless though, homosexuality would only be distressful for certain people, and thus would be a disorder for certain people. For the people who are not distressed with their homosexuality (whom I assume are the majority), it wouldn't be a disorder at all.
People have their own definitions on what qualifies as functional. Some people feel that natural reproduction is necessary for a functional life, and yet plenty of others do not. For those people, homosexuality wouldn't be disfunctional for them, and wouldn't qualify as a disorder.

Do you not wish for there to be a cure for homosexualism? Do you not have sympathy for those who are homosexuals, but wish to be heterosexual?

No, I don't. I don't have more sympathy for them more than I have for someone who thinks he has a big nose and who wishes to get a plastic surgery.
I was one of the ego dystonic homosexuals. Did I want a cure? BADLY, I praid for one everyday, I collected money to visit psychiatrist and took excessive anti depressant doses (they prescribe SSRIs for homosexuals in the middle east, why? no idea, probably cuz they these drugs make you worry about other shit than where your dick is gonna go).
Why did I hate myself? because Islam told me homosexuality was wrong. All I had to do was reading and realising and learning and I am happy with who I am now and the way I life my life. Ego dystonic homosexual should get over themselves the way I did.
I sympathasize with ego dystonic homosexuals the way I sympathasize with people who wants a prettier face when they obviously don't need one. I try to help them and make them realise that they're beautiful.
