Of course because you were born that way. If it works for them it can work for us. :^)

Anyone who is heterosexual meaning ONLY having sex with opposite sex partners will be defined as being aberrant. They are going more to the “fluid” definition of sexual identity, they are trying to expand the many options and they are inventing a lexicon of their weird definitions. If you believe people come in the male and female sex you are following the “binary” understanding of sexual identity and you can be sure that this “binary” definition will be pushed to the margins of what is acceptable.

They have been getting the “research” money for forty years. The Dem party and liberal foundations give them the grants. Little by little they are changing reality.

This article reminds me that when I went through an MBA program in finance, I decided to avoid what I considered the touchy, feely courses in sales and marketing and instead took some in quantitative methods. There I encountered a psychology professor who was frustrated about the direction his concentration in abnormal psychology was moving. He was into the rigorous application of statistics for any doctoral committees on which he served, so he strongly opposed a recent decision of his association.

In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) decided to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Removal followed a two year campaign Newsweek described as ongoing disruptive, chaotic attacks on psychiatrists and physiologists. Yet throughout these disruptive attacks, no academic papers arose at conferences refuting any research previously done. Eventually onslaughts forced sufficient abstentions, under-votes, and apprehensive responses for a third of APA 17,000 plus membership to approve removal.

Next activists targeted leading individual researchers such as Dr. David Reuben to ensure perpetual sanctity for the APA action. No research papers would again arise to confirm initial therapy success rates of 30% to 60 %, substantiating that 7 of 10 homosexuals could eventually walk away from the lifestyle. (He thought that abstinance was highly underrated and should be considered a success also.) Persistent activism over 37 years enabled ubiquitous infiltration of academia ensuring pre-ordained theses, approved flexibility in research designs, suitable human data points, and enchanting statistical enhancements. New standards for peer review of articles ensured appropriate design definitions, outcomes, and analytical models.

Psychology and Psychiatry have always had a tenuous hold on claims they were sciences with the standing of Chemistry and Physics. On the scale of intellectual rigor, their research more often resembles alchemy and/or oral history, and seldom, if ever, approaches the determinism found in a Chemistry laboratory.

I agreed with him that developments in statistics should have enabled them to a least determine there is a marginal or significant propensity for a particular disorder. Careful studies could have identified and graded methods of treatment. Given persistence in searching for correct methods of analysis, even accumulated episodic events could be sifted for transformation into valid information. Research would have proceeded more slowly and conclusions would have been less intuitive, but more stable. The disciplines would more often have adhered to the medical principle of-first of all, do no harm. Responsible research would also acknowledge those pesky humans, who in spite of their genetics and upbringing, decided to live positive lives without APA professional help.

Instead, Psychology and Psychiatry have chosen to abandon all pretense of scientific rigor in exchange for popular societal and political acclaim. The barriers erected to meaningful research about homosexuality remind me of Genesis 3:23-24. In these verses the Lord God banished humanity from the Garden of Eden and placed an angel in the Garden to keep humanity away forever. By their actions, Psychology and Psychiatry appear content within their own Garden of Eden. They seem to consider the accoutrements of a religion to be more attractive than those of a science. The under-voting and public attacks support the understanding that the DSM is as likely to accumulate political manifestos and marketing brochures as attempts at scientific expositions.

Psychology and Psychiatry have chosen to relinquish scientific rigor for popular societal and political acclaim. With studies concerning homosexuality freed from objective analysis, advocates for social justice rely upon base antidotal politics to dominate debates.

Are the male members going to be the first ones to bend over and “take one for the team” to prove they’re “normal”?

In Ohio, the question is “do you feel safe at home”.

I have gotten the same question in Minnesota.
And:
“Do you feel safe in your relationships?”
I tell them that I am surrounded by people stuck in a junior high mentality.

"Do you feel safe in your relationships?"

I recently saw a new PCP for the first time.He asked me three silly,senseless "PC" questions.

1) Are there any guns in your household?

2) Is your partner male or female?

3) Does anyone live with you who you fear?

He's a well known doctor at a well known hospital so I didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with him...otherwise I would have called him on the senselessness of those questions.

Disgust is not “fear” or phobia.

Most homosexuals were molested as children and they only seek to make it easier to molest yours, by making it seem normal.

Some excellent articles supporting the truth. Simply by logic, most of us already know this grossly self-destructive and disease-ridden lifestyle is way beyond mildly abnormal. Common sense is hate thought to the mentally diseased.
