ArchivedHow could you spread so much hate about gays?
No I meant romantic attraction which defines orientation.
Saying that you know they were absolutley changed is unscientific.
I think you have to work for the APA to get that specific information. I have no way of getting that. They say psychologists relied on biased information back then and there is no reason for them to be biased. They came to there conclusion from scientific studies like they do anything else.
Only by anecdotal reports and not empirical.
That was a part of the biased onformation they were talking about. The reason they changed there mind in 1973. The APA says they have done alot of research in the past 35 years that shows it is not a mental illness. "Postal ballots were mailed out and, of over ten thousand returned, 58 percent voted in favor, 37 percent against, five percent not responding (Laberg, 1998, p. 497). The official statement by the APA is as follows. Therefore, be it resolved, that the American Psychological Association opposes portrayals of lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth and adults as mentally ill due to their sexual orientation and supports the dissemination of accurate information about sexual orientation, and mental health, and appropriate interventions in order to counteract bias that is based in ignorance or unfounded beliefs about sexual orientation (Conger, 1975, p. 633)." Lamberg, L. (1998). Gay Is Okay With APA. Journal of the American Medical Association, 6, 497-499. Conger, J.J. (1975). Proceedings of the American Psychological Association, Incorporated, for the year 1974: Minutes of the Annual Meeting of the Council of Representatives. American Psychologist, 30, 620-651. So can you. The idea that homosexuality in the first place is immoral has no basis. It is a real form of love. |
