Male Homosexuality is a Mental Illness

First and foremost, I would strongly encourage anybody reading this to visit all of my sites I have posted and decide for themselves their validity. I think most of us are more familiar with Solarman than we'd like to be and are well aware of his arguing tactics. It doesn't matter what you show him or what's right in front of his face, if it disagrees with his beliefs he'll discount it as nothing but another liberal (you know, that other thing he thinks is a mental disease) view trying to destroy all that is just and good in this world. To you, Solarman – I brought the Kinsey Report up only to ask you of your definition of homosexuality. And as far as the American Psychological Association, it has 148,000 members and is "the largest association of psychologists worldwide." Hmm, which one is more enlightened: You?... Or an organization that represents 148,000 psychologists? The answer to that question is the end all of this whole argument on its own, because the one thing you and I do agree on is that homosexuality is no longer classified a mental illness since 197*3*. They certainly didn't just jump to that conclusion and once you finally get more than 148,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students to represent something as a whole, do you really think there's a thing they overlooked? http://www.apa.org... 1. If single gay men are having more sex than single straight men, it's all because of the difference in who they're going after. Gay men are bound to find more success in searching for casual sexual partners than straight men because they're after other men. There is no difference in the want and need between the two, the only difference lies in the receptiveness of their partners. Simple human biology, men are more sexual in nature than women, so take women out of the picture the sex level is bound to climb. Straight men should look at gay men favourably, actually – because they're living out every straight man's dream in that area... 2. Crossdressing and other feminine behavior that may lead you to the impression that male homosexuals want to be women are found in heterosexual males as well. You never really know what's going on with these people until you've talked to them, but I'm willing to bet you've never actually talked to one... http://crossdresser2.blogspot.com... http://loveandhealth.worldgroups.com... 3. There is no proof of any more or less sexualizing of young boys in the gay community than there is sexualizing of young females *and* males in the heterosexual community. I've already proven this misconception wrong, see round 2. Now, I understand the notion of pedophiles may be complicated for you, but the complexities are crucial to understand in the area of psychology, molestation and rape studies alone, and the process of reporting. Once you *understand* the complexities, you finally understand how easily exploited this information is. Hence, it is the perfect breeding ground for hate among ignorant, homophobic people who search and search for a valid reason to feel the way they do. "A man molested that young boy!? He must be gay!" Yeah, no. 4. Yes, gay people want to get married. This is not because they want to piss everybody else off, it's because they want the same rights as everybody else. How can you be so selfish and thinking the world revolves around you to think two people would want to legally commit their whole lives to one another just to shove that in your face? 5. I've already disputed this one, too. And have backed it up with proof, what a concept! Starting over again. 1. That I am "only 19" isn't going to save ya, buddy. What you should be worried about is this: Why does this 19 year old person see the world more realistically than I do? And why can't I debate more affectively than these "kids" I constantly take a knee to?... Why can I barely write the English language and what happened to evolving vocabularies? 2. That I am a girl makes no difference. Do you think as a straight man you're more qualified than I am in talking about the tendencies and lifestyles of gay men? I don't really see where you're coming from there, are you just homophobic or are you sexist too? 3. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada (home of legalized gambling, prostitution and a large drug trade) and now live in Austin, Texas (very large gay population). As far as the gay scene, I am homosexual myself and enjoy select gay bars among other things... I think I've been sufficiently acquainted with that culture and attitude. However, in the end it doesn't matter... the actual facts are on my side and all you're giving back is nonsensical dribble born of very questionable personal opinion.
