Abstract There has been a longstanding debate as to whether homosexuality should be treated as a psychological condition or not, although most studies tend to support those who view homosexuality as a normal sexual orientation. This paper discusses whether homosexuality is a psychological condition or not and provides facts which prove that it is a normal sexual orientation. Introduction Sexual orientation normally involves relationships with another or other individuals and forms the characteristic or identity of the person. Romantic attractions as well as sexual acts are usually categorized as heterosexuals or homosexuals and depending on the biological sex of the individual; the person may classified as gay or lesbian. Usually, sexual orientation in an individual is shown by desire to act or acting with another person either of the same or opposite sex. It is integrally associated with the intimate personal relationships which a person forms with another to meet his or her felt needs for love, intimacy as well as attachment. Other than these sexual behaviour, the bonds created through sexual relationships extend to include nonsexual physical affection which includes ongoing commitment, mutual support, shared goals as well as values. Homosexuality has become a major concern among different groups of people in the society including psychologists, psychiatrists, medical practitioners, sociologists as well as religious groups. There are different views as regards the classification of homosexuality as a health problem or a normal variation of the sexual orientation. The question still remains as to whether homosexuality is a mental disorder or not. Homosexuality not a psychological condition Lamberg (1999) argues that homosexuality is a normal sexual orientation. Hooker conducted three projective tests to 30 homosexual males as well as 30 heterosexual males (Hooker, 1957). She matched the two groups for IQ, education plus age. These two groups were evaluated on their “overall adjustment using a 5-point scale” by two Rorschach experts without being informed of the men’s sexual orientation (Hooker, 1957). The two Rorschach protocols experts were asked to “distinguish participant’s sexual orientation at level better than chance” (Hooker, 1957). A third expert was asked to use TAT and MAPS protocols to determine the psychological adjustment of the participants. The adjustment ratings yielded by these two protocols did not produce significant difference in the results as they did not distinguish “the participants’ sexual orientation at a level better than chance” (Hooker, 1957). The results of the study showed that “homosexuality is not a clinical entity neither is it inherently associated with psychopathology” (Herek, 1997). Gonsiorek (1982) also reiterates that homosexuality is not related to maladjustment or psychological disturbance meaning that they are not more psychologically disturbed as compared to heterosexuals on account of their sexual orientation. Gonsiorek conducted a review of published studies where he compared homosexuals and heterosexual samples by applying psychological tests. He found that the differences between these two groups were less significant and that they always scored within the normal range (Gonsiorek, 1982). Lamberg reports that many studies by
