Didacus Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) [quote]Thank you for tracking down this article. Some people [Groupo I] have a tendency to talk off the tops of their heads, some people [Groupo Two, including me] remember general concepts but with few supporting details and NO chapter or verse support, and then other people [Group Three, including you] do the right thing and track down an article that can form the basis of a discussion. My goal is to move from Group Two to Group Three one of these days, but don't hold your breath.[/quote] I need to move from group two to group three myself; but its soooo gosh darn hard!

Madame Vengier Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 [quote name='kujo' post='1805298' date='Mar 12 2009, 07:59 PM']Pressured to change it by the overwhelming common sense that it is NOT?![/quote] The man who was most prominent in the change to the textbooks of the AMA regarding homosexuality later came out as a homosexual himself, who had been cheating on his wife with other men for decades. Like many lies regarding morality, this one was born of a personal agenda. Homosexuality is most certainly a mental and emotional disorder. But I can see where someone who is homosexual or someone who has latent homosexual inclinations that they are not able to address (i.e. "in the closet") would have a real hard time accepting that they have a disorder of any kind.

Luigi Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 That's what I remembering hearing - I think it was in a radio interview... that the man who led the charge to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness was himself a practicing but closeted homosexual, and that he had to maneuver for this change rather delicately lest he be found out by his colleagues. After the status of homosexuality was changed, I think he did go public about his sexuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
