Well, it was considered a mental disorder in the DSM until recent revisions. Its understandable that they'd put it that way, since in general a mental disorder is any state of mind that strays from what is normal. The axis that contains mental retardation and personality disorders are there because they either last a lifetime or are difficult to treat. But the DSM changed it obviously since its growing in acceptance as just a normal way of life.
So I guess I can see why they'd consider it this way, since under the broad definition of a mental disorder, it fits (not every mental disorder is like schizophrenia or depression). But the Pentagon just needs to update their shit and get with the times, since its an accepted state of mind now.

I think Gay people should be accepted into our society. Just like Africans were accepted into the American society. Granted it took time, but its accepted.TaiyedBorders wrote:Being gay is now being accepted, but I have a friend who is gay, and fighting it. He said he has always been gay and he looks at it as a disorder and fights it on a daily basis.
May I ask how does he fight the disorder?

He dates women instead. He is Bi sexual not gay, I forgot to add... He usually stays away from gay people, gay bars, he admits it's wrong, and just avoids situations where he might meet another gay person - its easy to do in my town, the ass pirates are not that many...Alex wrote:I think Gay people should be accepted into our society.

gays being the new blacks... does that mean that the gays are going to be the blacks of the 50's, getting beat up and shit in public places? or the blacks of 2006 ridin dirty on some 24's?
because either way, I think we could do without

I just don't get that.... it's one thing for a girl to be bi, but what guy is all into chicks, and then a lightbulb goes off and he's like "I'm going to kiss this dude!" retarded.
