@FighterHayabusa So to you, homosexuality is either a choice or a disease? Get that false dichotomy garbage out of here. Having black hair is not a choice or a disorder, and being homosexual is just the same; it's a trait -- an intrinsic behavior. Is it really that hard for you to understand that they are regular people like us?
@Ryouga001 Too bad. You're wrong. A correction on my part after a little more research: it was until the early 1900's, not the 1950s. My point still stands. To add more, DSM III (the last issue) included homosexuality as a mental disorder, and it was removed in the current DSM IV. -- and even if it was a mental disorder, you still can't take their rights away. The disease argument fails on all fronts and is founded on complete intolerance. Would you take someone's rights away if they were suffering from major depressive disorder? Bipolar? Generalized anxiety? even Schizophrenia? The correct answer is that you don't; they are still people.
I see people here trying to liken homosexuality to mental illness and genetic disorders. This is only done by bigoted hatemongers. Get this: in the 1950s, people thought that being black was a genetic disorder. There are clear motives behind these declarations. These people were intolerant and wanted to see black people labeled as defective, outcasts, and inferior. Likening homosexuality to disease is no different.
@timoteo2k1 So you didn't read the article or the studies it was reviewing. I can only lead you to water, but it's your choice to drink. @Armysniper89 In the 1950s people used to believe that black people were suffering from a genetic disorder because of their skin color. What do you call that? Under these types of "explanations" for nature lies a motive. In this case, it's one of hatred and intolerance for a group of people based off of their sexual orientation by people who want to see them stigmatized and labeled as outcasts or inferior.
