It is like autism, you are born with it. People generally accept either for what they are, but autism is a disorder. Is homosexuality a disorder? Just making it clear, I have nothing against homosexuals. Homosexuality (as I believe) is not natural, as God intended it. (Just screwing with you FP) We can all agree that autism is "un-natural" and we should actively seek a "cure" for autism. Should we also seek a "cure" for homosexuality? I mean it sounds good in theory, but it's like .... seeking a cure for your ethnicity? (Couldn't word it any better) I'm divided here.
No, it is not.
I don't think it is. People who do are homophobic (imo).
Yes of course it is so is being muslim and black :downs:
In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
A "cure" for homosexuality? Hello, Hitler.
It might be some sort of genetic or hereditary trait. Nothing wrong with it, though.
Well I asked a lesbian school friend of mine if she became a lesbian throughout the years; she said that she'd had been a lesbian since she could remember.

[QUOTE=LF9000;18766860]Guess not, just need some re-assurance. Close this thread.[/QUOTE] Why would you even think..
If not a disorder, then what? A preference?
It is. The whole purpose of life is to reproduce. You can't reproduce with some the same gender as you. We are genetically hard-wired to be attracted to the opposite gender and if you are not, you have a genetic disorder. Not saying that it's a bad thing though.
[QUOTE=johanz;18766913]If not a disorder, then what? A preference?[/QUOTE] Yes.
it is a touchy subject, you could argue that they have a disorder because we are supost to find oposite sex atractive so that we can reproduce, but it could be natures way of keeping the numbers down, after all they all say that they have been gay as long as they remember. I do not see a problem with it as no one gets hurt and it's just natural to them.
so I'm being dumb because I said being gay is a choice? yeah that makes sense.
Although we've mapped out thousands of lines of DNA and millions of individual pieces, we still are largely in the dark about our genetics. So I could assume that there may be a specific gene that leads to the development of homosexual attraction. I may be correct, but who knows. Even if it is genetic, I wouldn't call it a "disorder", that implies that something is wrong with being homosexual. If you go by Creationism or Evolution, you'll find that obviously males and females were meant to breed. But at those times, survival depended on it. Times have changed, not every family needs a child to contribute and there's always adoption too. So no, I don't think it's a disorder. Maybe it isn't natural, but we as humans are constantly adapting. The point is, there is nothing wrong with being homosexual if you ask me and I don't think of it as a disorder.
No. 2 months ago, I thought i was straight. And now I'm pretty happy, so i wouldn't call it a disorder.
Well going along with Darwinian theories I think it's a disorder because it sure as hell doesn't uh help the human race in general survive Not really against it though
You can't cure autism, OP, nor can you find a cure. With autism the brain just functions a little differently, there's no way you can cure that. What you can do is train autistic people in the things they are not good at.
op is dumb.

[quote=Ignorant 12 year olds]Autism : It's the same as being gay[/quote] :sigh:
I think yes.
You can't avoid the fact that it isn't what humans are supposed to do though. If we all turn gay we'll die out.
I'm going to end this thread right now. It's not in the DSM-4. No it's not a disorder.
[QUOTE=solid_jake;18766972]See, this is a completely acceptable answer that makes sense as well as opposed to "YOU LIKE DICKS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM HURP DURP"[/QUOTE] Yeah, I believe that it shouldn't be viewed as anything but a disorder, but that still dosen't mean it's a bad thing. And to be perfectly honest, I am very homophobic, but I do strongly promote equality.
