*Sodomy Ensues*

[Nintendarse]

N_A, homosexuality hasn't been considered an abnormality in psychiatric texts since 1973.

In addition, the American Psychiatric Association, along with the American Psychological Association, filed an amicus curiae breif which strongly defended homosexuality. I suggest that you read it here: Romer v. Evans

Unfortunately, every time I post that link, nobody seems to read it. You don't have to read all the legal garbage, just start at "Argument."

And yet I know you still won't read it. *sigh* So here are a few key quotes. The numbers refer to endnotes:

The psychiatric, psychological, and social-work professions do not consider homosexual orientation to be a disorder. [48] More than twenty years ago, amicus American Psychiatric Association removed "homosexuality" from its list of mental disorders, stating that "homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social or vocational capabilities."[49]

Likewise, research has shown that many people base their opinions about gay people on an entrenched set of negative assumptions.Both gay men and lesbians are often associated with cross-sex characteristics."Additionally, significant numbers of individuals characterize male homosexuals as mentally ill, promiscuous, lonely, insecure, and likely to be child molesters, while lesbians have been described as aggressive and hostile toward men."[76]

These images represent crude stereotypes. For example, although gay men have been stigmatized with the allegation that they are disproportionately responsible for child sexual abuse,[77] there is no evidence of any positive correlation between homosexual orientation and child molestation.[78] Similarly, despite stereotypes to the contrary, gay men and lesbians often form committed relationships that share principal elements of heterosexual marital relationships,[79] that are based on deep emotional attachments,[80] and that endure for decades.[81]
