Exactly, yes, yes ! Can't be said enough ! Psychiatry is based on diagnosing deviance to cultural mores. We all know those mores shift over time - what is prohibited today may not be in another few decades.
While we think the muslims rioting over cartoons shows serious mental instability, they don't.
Only a few short decades ago, being homosexual was a mental disorder. Now the heteros are a mental disorder.
Before the Civil War, anyone who tried to educate their slaves was considered demented.
The Kennedy's (Joe and Rose) gane their daughter Rose a lobotomy because she was "different" from the rest of them.
As the joke goes, "Everyone's crazy but thee and me, and sometimes I worry about thee."
Anyone who goes to these charlatins is seriously risking their life and freedoms. Their agenda is to find everyone suffering from a mental disorder so they can reap vast fees from treating us.
Psychology is not a science.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
There is a sizable group who have a demonstrated bias against what they call breeders, and not all among this group are homosexual; there are scattered pockets (often in prisons, jails and inner-city neighborhoods) of those who have a professed distrust of white people generally and show this by disorderly behavior in the form of riots, looting and mayhem; there are honored and recognized groups who maintain that all men are pigs, regardless of race or ethnic identification; and then there are those whose very livelihood depends on the continued friction among the sexes, the races, the ethnics and the classes.
Who is immune?
Exactly. If homophobia is a disorder, then it's also a disability under the law. Homophobes' jobs should be protected, and they might also be eligible for disability benefits. An interesting turn of events.

Good! This may FINALLY wake people up to the scam which is modern psychology.
I like to ask sodomite-"marriage" advocates how these "marriages" are consumated.
("...psychology professor Edward Dunbar, who equates so-called homophobia with racial bias and suggests the disorder should be included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
"According to Professor Dunbar, When I see someone who wont see a physician because theyre Jewish, or who cant sit in a restaurant because there are Asians, or feels threatened by homosexuals in the workplace, the party line in mental health says, This is not our problem. If its not our problem, whose problem is it?
NOTE that the "instructor of psychology" makes an irrational and unreasonable (question as to why here becauase that's the query as to this person's mental disturbance) leap from discussing "race" related aversions to STATING THAT PEOPLE "FEAR" or experience "fear" ("in the workplace") "of homosexuals."
What he's doing is "leading" by disturbed reasoning the listener/reader (and hapless students, unfortunately) into concluding that if and when someone chooses to sit elsewhere or even work/purchase/shop/consume/loiter/entertain/whatever in whatever chosen location for whatever reason that they're displaying "fear" if and when someone else in a rejected proximinity is or may be "homosexual."
By this mentally ill perspective by this "professor of psychology," personal choice and personal evaluations when and if they can be equated by him to be in reference to "homosexuals" (according to this disturbed "instructor") is motivated by "fear."
Any sound psychiatrist should readily recognize this man's projections upon the vast generalities of "all" human beings otherwise. Without discussing and at length, with any one individual as to their thought and emotional process and mental capacity and functional abilities, THERE IS NO REASONABLE, SANE WAY that anyone else, be it "professor" or "psychologist," can EVER allege what anyone else's emotions in these specifics may be and are.
This fellow is mentally ill. As are his postulations and presumptions.
And, any sound psychiatrist will readily recognize the privilege and reasonableness of individual religious beliefs within a context of mental wellness.
To reject homosexuality based upon personal beliefs, or even preferences, does not inherently define "fear" nor even suggest "fear of homosexuality."
It's a baseless and DISTURBED irrational suggestion and affirms to me that this entire line of suggestion by the "instructor" and similar represents A CULTURAL IMPOSITION by DISTURBED INDIVIDUALS.
If and when anyone chooses to work, sit, position at what table in what restaurant or workplace, to seek appropriate accommodations is not unreasonable. To reject homosexuality on a behavioral, moral and spiritual basis is certainly an individual option and no one should for even a minute be coerced nor intimidated into concluding that by exercising personal preferences is "wrong."
That very process -- introducing a negative characteristic, such as "fear" to the self awareness of anyone else -- is the FUNCTIONAL PROCESS BY WHICH HOMOSEXUALS PREDATE UPON OTHERS.
Ask any child or even vulnerable adult who has been predated upon by homosexual (or even heterosexual, to an extent) molestation and they'll say that they were told that their hesitation and initial rejections of the suggested behaviors represented something "bad" and that to accept and comply was "not wrong."
It's such abusive theorizing and strategy by this "instructor". He's laying the groundwork to define as "good" and "acceptable" homosexuality "in the workplace" when, in fact, homosexuality "in the workplace" is entirely inappropriate unless one's workplace is the porn industry or some homosexual-commerce of some sort.
People SHOULD, in fact, "fear" homosexuality "in the workplace" just as they should "fear" any "workplace" that requires or consists of sexuality of any sort.
This "instructor" is incompetent both as an educator and as a "psychologist" and should be in the care of a psychiatrist before he does any further harms to humankind.
Oy, I wish you hadn't put it that way...
BTW, given the subject matter, shouldn't Heath Ledger have gotten nominated for Best Actress?
Great point. Imagine the first ADA lawsuit..."So what if I think gays shouldn't get married! You have to hire me!"
Bingo!
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
No offense, but how in the world did you get the idea that the author was connecting homosexuality and agape love? He is saying virtually the opposite.
She's right you know. The DSM is a political document not a scientific one. Just another reason why these modern day witch-doctors and the poison potions they prescribe should be completely avoided.
Exactly right, and I, for one, am quite glad that one of these snakeoilers has actually confessed to the whole scam.
