I didn't say that because someone is gay, they're also a pedophile, alcoholic, thief, etc.

I only made the point that homosexuality, similar to all these other disorders, is a compulsive behavior.



The DSM IV and almost all mental health professionals would disagree with your assesment of homosexuality. It's no more a 'compulsive behaviour' than hetro sex is.



You clearly haven't read what was previously written, either my previous comments on pages 5 and 6 of this topic, or read the studies I posted in the previous topic. (Which I linked for you, specifically at your request)

The Reader's Digest version is:

1) Among psychology/psychiatry professionals, homosexuality until 1973 was diagnosed as an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
and
2) That there are still many studies and centers that STILL treat homosexuality as a treatable disorder, despite what the mainstream of the psychology/psychiatry profession has removed from the list of disorders out of pro-gay bias and political correctness.
and
3) As I also posted, there is a pro-gay backlash against any psychological study done that sincerely questions the politically correct pro-gay stance that has been leveraged on the psycho-professional community, that reflexively trashes anyone who makes inquiry beyond the politically correct pro-gay stance, a trashing that many professionals are not willing to subject themselves to, in order to do a serious study that will contradict the pro-gay intimidation and holy war on progress and truth.
and
4) That the studies I posted were all done by psychologists WHO ARE THEMSELVES FORMER PRACTICING HOMOSEXUALS, who certainly have no lack of compassion for, or firsthand knowledge of, the gay experience. The lack of experience that you berate me for not having (which is a bullshit argument anyway, the old "you can't know what it's like unless you're gay, black, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, a compulsive gamble, a pedophile, a serial killer whatever. No crime or social assessment of any kind could eve be done of any kind, if everyone held the same attitude. I'll dsay it again: It's a bullshit argument ).
But in any case, highly knowledgeable people of the gay experience have posted studies, and successfully treated individuals out of the gay compulsion.



I don't seek out referances I judge to be unreliable, so why would I look for yours? You can find authorities that deny the holocaust. I'll speak plainly. The information you constantly dredge up does not conform to my experience with the many LGBT folk that are my friends, lovers or aquaintences. None are engaged in the behaviours you attribute to us, though a few may drink too much. I don't need to be cured. I'm happy the way I am. So enjoy your bigoted, small minded thoughts. They are, as you say, Bullshit.
