Homosexuality and Mental Health

Homosexuality and Mental Health

It was never a medical decision—and that’s why I think the action came so fast…It was a political move…That’s how far we’ve come in ten years. Now we even have the American Psychiatric Association running scared.
-Barbara Gittings, Activist

Getting Started

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) currently considers same-sex attraction a diagnosable and treatable mental disorder –if one is marked by persistent distress about their “sexual orientation.”

The disorder is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV TR (DMS-IV TR) as a paraphilia, euphemistically entitled, “Sexual Orientation Not Otherwise Specified.”

Psychiatrists began to use this clunky phrase to refer to homosexuality in 1987, after compromising with radical activists for more than a decade about what constitutes politically-correct verbiage. Negotiations have centered primarily on how to balance the demands of radical political activists with the right of the individual patient to self-determination, which requires that psychiatry leave the doors open to treatment and implies that homosexuality is in fact a mental disorder.

This is an excellent work-in-progress by Ryan Sorba, a courageous warrior against homosexual political correctness. Most people have no idea how political, violent, and unscientific the push to have homosexuality de-pathologized in the psychiatric profession in the 60's, 70's and beyond.

A long read but worth it

Real good article! As long as homos continue with their evil agenda to try to change social thinking in accepting their disgusting unnatural sexual deviancy, the more will we defend the truth!

Good for Ryan Sorba a courageous fighter for the truth in a culture that can't handle such truth. The whole sordid story is in many places on the web ....Prior to December 14, 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) considered same-sex attraction a disorder. The disorder was listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-II (DSM-II) under the label, “Homosexuality.” Psychiatry’s authoritative voice influenced public opinion, which at the time was negative toward both sodomy and the types of people who engaged in such acts. Although public sexual activity in parks and public restrooms contributed to societies negative views, “scientific opinion” was crucial in the public attitude.
---------------------------------------------------------

Smug militant gays will point to ‘studies’ and the DSM and claim homosexuality is as normal as breathing when the scientific method, empirical data and the DSM itself have been intentionally corrupted to produce an outcome. It worked so well that the climate change types thought they would try it but absent the same sort of personal emotional bias among most (pro or con) the ruse was discovered and most sane people recognized the manipulation for what it was.

The coordinated effort to destigmatize homosexuality has, inevitably, opened the Pandora’s box of deviancy and delusion, with sordid tales of parents claiming their six year olds are ‘transgendered’ and demanding the wholesale retrofitting of schools, malls and other public facilities regardless of the cost or any application of common sense or skepticism.

Gittings tells about her activism against the APA:

"Besides the ALA, I was also very involved, along with many other people, in efforts to get the American Psychiatric Association… to drop its listing of homosexuality as a mental illness. Psychiatrists were one of the three major groups that had their hands on us. They had a kind of control over our fate, in the eyes of the public, for a long time. Religion and law were the other two groups that had their hands on us. So, besides being sick, we were sinful and criminal. But the sickness label infected everything that we said and made it difficult for us to gain any credibility for anything we said ourselves. The sickness issue was paramount."

They have, for all practical purposes, conquered psychiatry and law. The only group that still largely stands in their way is religion, and they are steadily making inroads there, or at least creating the public perception that they are.

All of their malice and energies can, and will be, now focused on Christianity, make no mistake. Never believe the fake assurances given by homosexual apologists that churches would never be forced to affirm homosexuality or to acknowledge counterfeit "marriage." It is coming, and we'll face confiscation of our property and incarceration when we resist.
--------------------------------------------------

If their case was so scientifically air-tight and convincing, why was violence, threats, deceit, and the most obnoxious behavior, over several years, necessary to finally bully the medical community to acquiesce to their demands? Truth doesn't need these things.

The outlandish behavior itself points to a serious pathology. Speaking anecdotaly (for which there IS often something to be said) every homosexual I have been closely familiar with has had other emotional and psychological issues. Every one was on psychotropic drugs, had serious anger issues, and had debilitating problems relating to other people. Most are liberals and have the mindless liberal view on virtually everything, despise Christianity, and had horrible relationships with parents and siblings.
--------------------------------------------------------

Negative behavior or activity that is disease ridden and self destructive is all great for a short time until the harmful social, medical and mental consequences set in.

If it “feels good, do it” is missing the end of the sentence where the negative consequences are listed.

If heroin feels good, do it; but know that it will totally control and kill you within ten years. It is ultimately a suicide mission.

Likewise, with anal sex. It may be your addictive desire but it will shorten your lifespan by twenty to thirty years because of all the diseases that come as a consequence to the behavior.

Every sin is tempting (feels good for the moment) and every sin has consequences (makes one suffer in the long term). God is not arbitrary in His guidebook to a human’s happy and successful life on earth. Liberals racially slur that lifestyle as “white bread” and urge Americans to adopt a more “exciting” image and behaviors/lifestyle. That is a call to adopt a mentality and behaviors of self deceit and self destruction.
--------------------------------------------------------

The physical and psychological damage done by homosexual behavior is an open secret to those who are honest enough to examine the data. The CDC and FDA contain a wealth of information relating to the verifiable risks associated with male-to-male homosexual behavior, and other sources document similar hazards, both behavioral and physical, of lesbian activity. The anecdotal observations merely confirm the hard evidence, and blow away the carefully crafted facade of almost "gay supremacy" that the entertainment and news media would have you believe.

When was the last time they presented a down-and-out, drugged, disease-ridden homosexual as an example? Instead, it's always the rich elite types with money to treat their disorders into temporary obscurity - ALWAYS. There is a very good scientific reason that homosexually active men are banned from donating blood and organs. That they demand the "right" to donate is proof of their irrational persecution syndrome. Since when to people who've visited Haiti and the U.K protest for a "right" to donate blood? When do any sane people do so?
