Psychiatrist courts controversy, says homosexuality is unnatural

Former president of the Indian Psychiatric Society Dr Indira Sharma has courted controversy by claiming that homosexuality is unnatural, a statement made three days ago at an annual meet of psychiatrists.

The LGBT community has brought "talk of sex to the roads", she told Times of India. "Heterosexuals don't talk about sex. It's a private matter," she told Times of India.

The report quoted a psychiatrist who attended the summit as saying Sharma's speech took a condescending approach towards homosexuals. Sharma denied to TOI that she called for "homo clubs" to be shut down.

She said her speech was about homosexuals who were uncomfortable about their sexuality and wanted to change their sexual orientation. "She added that those comfortable with their orientation should be made aware that their behaviour was causing a lot of uneasiness in society," the report said.

Sharma, who teaches at Banaras Hindu University, reportedly stirred a hornet's nest at last year's annual meeting too, when she suggested that early marriage for women was advisable.

Crazy that saying homosexuality isn’t natural causes controversy.

Society decides what is natural and normal.

Attitudes are generally swinging away from this man’s opinion.

Yes, I said “swinging” deliberately.

/hah

It’s as natural as trying to fly an airplane with both wings on the same side.

homosexuality is unnatural

The sole purpose of a species is to procreate. Given natural selection, homosexuals should be extinct unless they can find other ways to propogate their lifestyle.

NBC’s director of entertainment, a homosexual himself, is ordering a program from ellen degenerat since all the other homosexual shows fell.

Suprised the homsexual all obama news channel is not talking about this.

Speaking truth to ... perversion.

We must never lose sight of the truth that we are not wrong in opposing homosexuality; homosexuals are wrong in promoting it.

We don’t determine what is right or natural by taking a poll.

If sodomy were natural, the human species would not exist. The doctor is correct.

What is unnatural about a man putting his penis in another man’s anus? It is as natural as a polar bear riding a bicycle at the equator.

Homosexuality is an unnatural choice. It is a choice, no quesstion! When a man is born a man, only his arrogance will make him not act like a man.
