Most medical groups have embraced the homosexual agenda and are advocating that lifestyle, despite all of the scientific studies and medical evidence that demonstrate medical and psychological risks. It seems the politically correct homosexual agenda is trumping science.

Same-sex attraction is a manifestation of serious emotional conflicts that are preventable and treatable. Gender Identity Disorder in children regularly leads to same-sex attractions in adolescence, and now there's even a move to remove it from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.

The media or major health organizations communicate none of the serious medical and psychiatric problems associated with homosexuality. School programs don't present this information, so children are encouraged and taught that the homosexual lifestyle is a healthy alternative to marriage.

These youngsters are not being told about the dangers of this lifestyle. I think schools and school psychologists should be legally liable because they are not providing informed consent while promoting the homosexual lifestyle.

Ping. (As usual, if you would like to be added to or removed from my "conservative Catholics" ping list, just send me a FReepmail. Please realize that some of my "ping" posts are long.)

Gays are an evil force and they have too much f'n power. I had the misfortune to work for a company that had a regional office in Californicated that was run by the Gay Mafia. The worst experience I ever had in a work place environment. Outrageous!

A gay lawyer used to gross out female staff members by playing his voice mail on speaker phone. He did a lot worse, repeatedly. Unbelievable, just f'n crazy. One woman went home in tears over this crap. A month later, who was gone? _________ The poor woman was forced out of her job by the lesbian in charge.

Gay Mafia . . . . they should all be banned from the work environment.

Could you explain why homosexuality is not normal, from a medical standpoint?

Because rectums are designed for crapping.

They left out some of the gory stuff about anal/intestinal damage. This is just information about how contagious diseases are passed. What they might want to focus on is gay sex between two uninfected men and the damage that can result (if indeed it can) even in the absence of disease.

Homosexuality was diagnosed and treated as a psychiatric illness -- abnormal behavior -- until 1973, when it was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual in psychiatry because of political pressure.

------------------------

The classificarion of homosexuality is not a religious phenomenon. Even arheistic psychology and psychiatry recognized homosexuality as a serious mental disorder 40 years ago. The removal of homosexuality from serious diagnostic categories should never have been done. I do not recognize the validity of the deletion.

A good friend's brother is a computer graphics artist who worked on LOTR and also worked at Disney for (I think) 3 years. He couldn't stand it at Disney because he said it was infested with homosexuals, they ran the place.
Disney movies are filled with homo-promotion.

Jung spoke of homosexuality as a kind of sociological disorder, as being ther result of a confusion of sexual roles Such confusions is more frequent in an industrial society and Jung saw eveidence of its in every urban society as opposed to a rural society.

------------------------------------

I'm not impressed by Jung. He lacked incisiveness and has become a form of pop psychiatry. The problem is much deeper than industrialization.

But both he and Freud recognized homosexuality as a kind of deviancy. That the modern professionals are unwilling to do. They think that earlier views were simply a matter of convention and that all is required is to create a new convention.

It's a plain old propaganda machine, that's for sure.

The idea of complete absence of absolutes has taken over psychology and psychiatry.
