It's not a "disorder" which is a medical term. The AMA and the APA (medical experts) tell us this. Disorder implies we should work for some "cure".
In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. The American Psychological Association Council of Representatives followed in 1975.
Politics masquerading as science. Just like global warming "science."
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Christine O'Donnell, Delaware's Republican U.S. Senate nominee, said in an interview four years ago homosexuality is "an identity disorder."
Newly revealed comments from 2006 indicate O'Donnell once believed gays and lesbians have an "identity disorder," putting her squarely at odds with the American medical and psychological community, and popular opinion, ABC News reported Monday.
I don't think it's so much an identity disorder as a moral disorder (an inclination to an immoral act). A considerable percentage of people DO feel an attraction for the same sex, and this is not a sin in itself. However, sodomy is a grave sin, and any inclination to that sin can be said to be a moral disorder. It's like pedophilia in that sense; pedophiles cannot easily remove their attraction to children, but they can refrain from sexual activity with them.

Sin? You're deluded by religious myths. Really, the Bible is utter trash.

Disagreeing with the leftist agenda is anti-intellectual now....
The agenda of the far right is anti-intellectual. I have seen far too many posts bashing college professors and scientists. The right was definitely successful in their attempt to dumb down America.
