Do you know the difference between psychiatry and psychology? Psychiatry deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain and nervous system. Homosexuality is not a “disease of the brain or nervous system”. Psychology is the “science of mental processes and behavior”. As I posted earlier the American Psychiatric Association modified their stance on homosexuality in the DSM III based on political pressure and not on any empirical studies, which can be verified by people other than Satinover, who is a psychiatrist.
The American Psychiatric Association depends on anecdotal studies to determine what is and is not “normal”. Unlike medical and pharmaceutical research you cannot dissect the brain and find a gene for behavior. Unlike you I have taken the time to read both sides of this issue and have discovered that for some gay men and lesbian women homosexuality is the result of childhood trauma. Now you can ignore the fact that about 70% of the membership of both APA’s agree with this and rely on the fact that neither of the APA’s will resubmit the decision to remove homosexuality completely from the DSM IV to their member for a vote all you like but the fact remains that Bieber showed that homosexuality has environmental causes before 1973 and subsequent studies have also demonstrated this to be true.
Who cares about the percent of gblt in America? From the opening post on this thread: "A coalition of leading pro-homosexual activist groups has now admitted in a legal brief that only "2.8 percent of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual." Apparently the "coalition of leading pro-homosexual groups" who took the time and expense to prepare and submit a legal brief to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Oh, and your assumption that nobody is reading what I post and taking it seriously is simply wishful thinking on your part. Those interested in facts are taking me seriously.
BTW, God's last name is not damn and the use of profanity is a violation of our Forum Rules, are you out to get yourself banned?
