Homosexuality was not removed from DSM-III due to any new advances in Psychiatry, it's because the homosexuals were being disruptive and making threats against the Psychiatrists opposed to the decision between 1970 and 1973. Too bad I wasn't around then to set up security for the APA. They also managed to get pedophelia listed as an aberrant sexual fantasy and now the homosexuals want pedophelia and sadomasochism removed altogether.

I think that being gay is perfectly normal. I know a lot of gay people and they are just like everyone else.

I absolutely despise the comparison of Asperger's to homosexuality!
You've said that before Sean, but I do think stlf's comparison is valid.
I know I've said that before and I stand by it. There is no comparison between ASDs and homosexuality. Unlike ASDs, homosexuality could be controlled if the homosexual made use of his inhibitions. The only way to talk about homosexuality being natural is in the context of the sinful nature of man. Furthermore, assuming you can come up with an argument comparing ASDs and homosexuality, you should conseider if that is such a good idea considering that, unlike Autistics, homosexuals account for percentages of diseases and sex crimes many times the size of their percentage of the population.
