The 48-year-old man turned down a job because he feared that a co-worker would be gay. He was upset that gay culture was becoming mainstream and blamed most of his personal, professional and emotional problems on the gay and lesbian movement.
(you can see where this is headed)

We were warned about those that call good evil and evil good.
"Gulag Archipelago alert"
You got that right!
Food for thought for everybody enthused about civil confinement after the end of their sentence.
Future scenario: You're in a scuffle. The other person is a protected class. You have made negative post about this class. It's a hate crime now and also proof of mental illness. After you get out of jail they keep you in a mental hospital until they are convinced you are no longer mentally ill i.e. bias free.
Oh, yes, marching toward the precipice.
Re-educate this!!! ( middle finger wave )
" Psychiatry Ponders Whether Psychiatry Can Be an Illness"
Think the right thoughts...or else!!!
Then won't we have fun! (say the liberals).
If I can collect disability and sue somebody for making me extremely biased, then, sure--it's an illness.
We're victims! We have EBS (Extreme Bias Syndrome).
John Rocker expressed an opinion and was sent to be cured for it.
I believe that Liberalism is a mental illness. They should include it in the DSM-IV.
I often run into a gay man in a local forum. He calls the fact that straight men won't have sex with him "discrimination" and even thinks it's something the ACLU should look into.
He's clearly nutcase material.
Off to the gulags!
Wonder how many promoters of this new "disease" are themselves acute sufferers of BIDS (Bush Induced Derangement Syndrome)?
Yes... extreme bias against, say, Christians, or white people, can be an illness. Extreme bias against homosexuality is called "normal, healthy brain function".
Yeah, exactly!
The whole article drones on about racism and homophobia, but makes no mention on the pathological haters on the left and in the media - talk about missing the target!
Then won't we have fun! (say the liberals).
As long as we're using the Soviet model for social design - how about we annex Canada by force, and turn Alberta into a vast system of penal colonies.
You know, cheap labor - then we wouldn't have to import migrant workers to do the jobs "Americans won't do".
Easy solution: forced labor!
(/sarcasm!)
So buying a male type body part at some sex store so you can pretend to mate with another female is normal, but thinking it disgusting is not?
(confused)
I'll say up front this poster is more libertarian than any other political philosophy - if I had to make a choice, most of the time it would be to say "ok whatever" with regards to individuals' choices.
My surprize (though it's not inconsistent with other aspects of Political Correctness) is at the left's creeping criminalization of dissent from the right. PC is very much akin to Marxism. The fact that there's actually discussion of calling some forms of political dissent (even if shrill) a mental illness, really is - Stalinist.
Liberals, IMHO, given free reign really would create a Marxist state. They're drawn naturally to it. Like moths.
They don't recognize, once they build the infrastructure to keep down their opponents - the same infrastructure can (and will eventually) be used against them.
It's in everyone's interest, to keep such nonsense far, far at the fringe - and roundly subjected to political ridicule.
It's important.
The example given by the author is an example of a man with a true phobia and homosexuals are the target. How PC. You can bet it isnt true, but is a leftist cant in order to justify the term homophobia.
The man's disorder is already covered in the DSM under phobias and the diagnosis and treatment are available.
Down further there is discussion about using antipsychotics to eliminate racism. Racism is considered a delusional disorder by these people. Antipsychotics eliminate lots of different behaviors and are used for lots of things...in medicine the atypicals "cures horseness." (will anyone get that allusion?} (will anyone care?)
Welcome to the medical gulag. Run by leftist psychiatrists. BTW, lobotomies are coming back into style.
