[QUOTE=jr059375;18766944]No. 2 months ago, I thought i was straight. And now I'm pretty happy, so i wouldn't call it a disorder.[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.facepunch.com/image.php?u=160190&dateline=1259559729[/img]
Disorder implies that there is something wrong with them, which there is not.
As a bisexual (and asexual), I think that it's okay for a human to be attracted to any other human that they find attractive, be it male, female or somewhere in between. I don't find the above to be a disorder at all, unless you believe that people who accept and are at peace with their own sexual orientation have a disorder. Then I would think that you have a disorder.

I think disorder sounds like the most rational cause. Saying it's a just a "preference" is just sugar coating.

Hate to sound like a douche or anything but I support this theory through science. you see Males and Females have two different chromosomes X and Y, Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X If a cell only have more or less than two they're going to grow up challenged since people bitch about the whole "Oh I was born gay thing" let's say it starts when you're born. You have one cell, assuming X chromosomes affect how feminine the two genders act. A gay man's cyto has three two X and one Y chromosome, that cell divides so there's allot cells like that now. Let's just accept that the this is a theory. If gay mean have more X than Y chromosomes, They could be called challenged. Thus homosexuality could be a mental disorder :eng101: BOOYAH DISAGREE!

It was once in the Diagostic manual of mental disorders, but they removed it in the 80s (It might have been later.)
I was thinking, all animals are 'hardwired' to want to breed, It's an instinct Homosexuals find same sex partners and don't breed. I know we've pretty much evolved and only get mildly influenced through instinct (fight or flight, Look it up) but wouldn't that be classed as a disorder?
Does it matter?
Might as well say heterosexuality is a disorder too if you guys think homosexuality is one.
See above.

I'm probably way late to the party here, as I'm just getting around to answering the topic question but, WHATEVER LOLOL [quote=dictionary.com]Disorder –noun 1. lack of order or regular arrangement; confusion: Your room is in utter disorder. 2. an irregularity: a disorder in legal proceedings. 3. breach of order; disorderly conduct; public disturbance. 4. a disturbance in physical or mental health or functions; malady or dysfunction: a mild stomach disorder. [/quote] Homosexuality is an irregularity. Not necessarily a bad irregularity, but an irregularity never the less. So I classify it as a disorder. And, no, I'm not a homophobe so SHUT UP
[QUOTE=postmanX3;18809934] Homosexuality is an irregularity. Not necessarily a bad irregularity, but an irregularity never the less. So I classify it as a disorder.[/QUOTE] that's the dictionary definition of "disorder." We're talking about the medical or psychological definition of disorder. and FYI, the America Psychological Association and the DSM-IV both require something to be both unwanted and detrimental to a normal life for it to be classified as a disorder. There are plenty of homosexuals who are perfectly happy with their life and lead completely normal lives, so it cannot be called a disorder.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;18808362]Being a furry is a disorder that can be cured with fire.[/QUOTE] Lol, jumping on the kill all furries bandwagon/circlejerk, you're sooo cool and funny. :I There's nothing wrong with being a furry or furry culture.
thread is :gay:
Well I'm going to get on my point again: Having sex with the opposite gender is what works to breed a new generation of humans. If homosexuality was normal, nature would've found its way to make us breed with same sex partners. Homosexuality isn't wrong or bad or what ever the hell you guys claim to be talking against. It's cool that they have rights and everything, but nature decided men would do it with women to reproduce. So in my mind, homosexuality is a deviance. I'll tell it another time for the retards, I've got nothing wrong with it.
[QUOTE=Hypershadsy;18810800]thread is :gay:[/QUOTE] Wow, thanks for that comment, nobody else realised this thread is about homosexuality.
there is 7 billion people on this planet. Does it really matter?
