Homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973

Dude, I have a serious problem with what you've just said. Is this the mental illness stigma? Because I've said from page one that mental illness is its own problem in itself.

I've had issues with mental illness, let me tell you, it ain't crazy people they're locking ping up and medicating.

ok, it was just it'd what you said in general. Mental illness is not the stereotypical crazies who need medication and imprisonment. That's pretty insensitive, you know?

Slay, here are all my posts where I've mentioned evolutionary context. Practically all leading up to raisen's post.

But, I'm not one to speak for another person who is scared to debate, it was just my opinion.

also, you're denying reality in that post.

This entire thread is disgusting and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for even considering that homosexuality is a "mental illness".

There are certain interests that are considered mental illnesses, such as pedophillia and incest, as well as being taboo, they are definitely mental illnesses. Homosexuality is completely normal and there is nothing wrong with it.

Another thing is, Homosexuality is there while the baby is inside the damn womb. Sure, he can try to go after women all he likes in his early days, but unless he's legit genetically modified to like women, it isn't gonna happen.

Nice strawman. I've never said that you didn't mention evolutionary context at all in this thread. You implied to have mentioned Raisen's hypothesis - including the 'evolutionary context' you later attributed to it - earlier in the thread, which you didn't. Even if we were to assume that I simply misunderstood what you meant to say, it would still be a pointless discussion as I was replying to Raisen's post, in which he mentioned no ''evolutionary context'' whatsoever. If Raisen did intend to place his hypothesis in the context which you later provided for it, he should have done so himself when proposing it. I suggest we drop this pointless discussion as it's not much more than derailing from the topic at hand which is as follows:

Elaborate.

The reality that homosexuals don't contribute to reproduction. Ie, the most important survival tool for over millions of years.

This is quite the evolutionary anomaly, I must say.

What say you? Is it a mental illness or not?

No.

There certainly is a mental disorder on display in this thread, but it isn't homosexuality.

I'm not saying a group of members are reacting to views they disagree with due to their preconceived notion of normal and abnormal.....

no, don't lol it off. Think about those specific exaggerations and isolate them.

ok that's between you and raisen.

you need to explain more about homosexuality starting in the womb and the genetics argument. Do you have any research to refer me regarding irreversible prenatal homosexual genes?

This is quite the evolutionary anomaly, I must say.

I'm not gonna research something thats common knowledge. Unless you're one of those people who are like "Thats what they want you to think".

this is what is wrong with this world. we can't have a civil debate without being called some kind of monster. homosexuality was considered a mental illness for a long time by a vast pool of psychologists. things change with time but we should be able to have discourse without all this emotional dribble.

Because its been confirmed by everyone who ever researched it ever???

With regard to stereotypes, they hold truth, but one should know where those truths are in relation to where the stereotype came about. Specifically, homosexual stereotypes and mental illness stereotypes, as they relate to the topic of the thread.

Homosexuality is natural – it occurs throughout nature, and, in relation to humans, is a boon to our ever-increasing overpopulation problem.

Indeed it is.

This post is hilarious at every section.

is the guy tarded?

Because someone doesn't agree with your simple-minded, immoral views, then they're retarded?

So not questioning homosexuality as a whole makes you retarded?

This entire thread's existence is highly offensive to every homosexual on KMC.

Free Speech is one thing, but when you use it to question someone's sexuality, in terms, calling every homosexual mentally ill because of their sexuality in general, thats a bit ****ed up and insensitive.

Thats the shit that Star kept getting banned for (among other things).

Well it depends on your definition on mental illness.

In a strictly broad sense, yes it is a mental illness. In fact, sometimes it's just a "phase" or an "experiment", instead of the lifestyle, but It could be classified as something unnatural like depression, anxiety, necrophilia or cannibalism and therefore is a mental illness.

The term "Mental illness" has moved on since the 70s, as has "homosexuality" and the culture associated with it. I think it's spelt LGBTQSYP+ or something. By today's standards, homosexuality is not considered a mental illness and everybody knows that.

Lighten up for ****s sake. We need to understand homosexuality if we're going to discuss it.

As far as I can tell, it's having sex with the same gender as yourself. Now that's fine between consenting adults in today's world, but aren't we a species that has evolved for millions of years due to heterosexuality, hence the reason we have two sexes in the first place, nee, the reason sex ****ing exists?

It's a bit more complex than say, homosexuals aren't ill and we should be tolerant. What about transgender people who have hormone therapy and genital mutilation to feel better about themselves? Are they gay? Is Caitlin Jenner gay, mentally ill, or both?

Why do you insist on using words you don't know the meaning of? Why can't you just be like Donald Trump and stick to the 800 you understand?
