There is a considerable body of research on which they make that determination. For example, in the 1950s it was assumed that homosexuals are generally very disturbed people, unable to lead productive, stable lives. But the research of Evelyn Hooker, who studied homosexuals in her circle of acquaintances (not homosexuals in treatment or prison), demonstrated that apart from their sexual orientation, homosexuals do indeed live normal, stable lives, often in difficult and demanding professional careers.

Depends on what society considers normal, and stable. Society also tells us the mentally ill and retarded do too, living on their own with minimal supervision. But working in the field, reveals the truth. Their lives are not normal. And they are, by definition of their mindsets, dysfunctional. In fact the behavior is pretty much obsessive compulsive disordered.

Stable is, by all societies and for thousands of years, has been defined by self discipline, self respect, accountability, responsibility, NOT violence, decadence, and perversion, or demanding civil right be decreed for the afore mention behaviors.

That is not hate, btw, it is reality. Many of us do not choose to ignore reality and built up and alternate reality. We know that reality is best dealt with and lived within.
