"Unfortunately most people here are equating "removal of classificaton as mental illness" with "declaring it to be a great and wonderful thing", when there is no evidence that this is the case."

This is exactly why the de-listing is such a non-story. Some Freepers are proclaiming this the validation of the slippery slope argument, and are waiting for pedophiles to freely roam the streets having sex with children...

Ummm, folks, we're pretty well along the road to declaring "the gay sexual orientation" to be a great and wonderful thing, and removal of homosexuality from the DSM was an important step in that process. It has had inestimable propaganda value.

Do you remember when that happened? I was in college at the time. Do you remember society before that, to compare with what we have now?

This is not a "non-story." It is a milestone in the movement to lower the age of consent. Say, to four.

You're right, we didn't see that with homosexuality did we? Er, except for rest stops. Er, public bathrooms. Er, parks. Er, uh oh??? Sorry I was wrong.
