Gay activists and wealthy supporters also used their money to lobby political favor and to support candidates who were sympathetic to them. Homosexuality was removed from the DSM list through intimidation and political pressure, not because it was normal behavior.(February 15, 2013 at 1:39 pm)A Theist Wrote:
My position is at least based on scientific consensus. Yours is based on ignorance, bare assertions and bigotry.
You may feel in your heart that homosexuality is a mental illness but psychologists, as reflected in the peer-reviewed DSM, have reached a different conclusion and did so a long time ago (somewhere in the 70s, as I recall). Like it or not, there it is.
Sorry that reality has such a liberal bias but you're not entitled to your own facts.
Excerpt from the book, 'Homosexuality and American Psychiatry'...(yes. I have that book,)....
Quote:"Dr. Bayer documents the first attack by homosexual
activists against the APA in 1970 when this organization held its convention in
San Francisco. Homosexual activists decided to disrupt the conference by
interrupting speakers and shouting down and ridiculing psychiatrists who viewed
homosexuality as a mental disorder. In 1971, homosexual activist Frank Kameny
worked with the Gay Liberation Front collective to demonstrate against the APA’s
convention. At the 1971 conference, Kameny grabbed the microphone and yelled,
'Psychiatry is the enemy incarnate. Psychiatry has waged a relentless war of
extermination against us. You may take this as a declaration of war against you.'"

Quote:Oral sex and frotting work just fine for male/male couples, thank you very much. Even anal sex works with lubricant.I don't care how much grease is used, the anus is not naturally designed to function as a sexual organ. Even with lubricants the trauma from anal sex presents a number of health risks.
