>>23 Anti-gay sentimets harms society by being an unnecessary divider not to mention a distraction from real issues. The harm it does to the gay community is unquantifiable since it is spread over 10 % or more of the american population.
A disorder is semantically a poor term, and if homosexuality is a disorder then so is my preference for symmetrical patterns and the color black. Research is research, facts are facts, the problem is less in the researchers than in the omittance and selection of facts people make.
Homosexuality is NOT "unnatural". In nature, the LEAST common relationship is heterosexual monogamy. Dolphin males commonly have sex with each other and have been observed sodomizing tortoise males as well. Unnatural is a very poor choice of words, you know. A disorder it MAY be, but in that case it is a NURTURED exaggeration of a NATURALLY existing potential for non-heterosexuality.
Homosexuality is not a "kink", nor is it a lifestyle. It is either native or empirical, but mostly native. It does appear as if lesbianism has a more complex causality than male homosexuality though. It may also be an expression of preference for a particular type of PERSON, since centrally males and females are born very much alike, but are then raised to be boys and girls, later becomin men and women. A person may simply not fancy the way we have molded and shaped males and females, and thus go the path less travelled.
