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.

Well, it aint natural for YOU anyway. But then others who have said that before have been caught with their pants down so it must have been natural afterall.

It is a disorder, and it's not making any judgments. I have OCD, a disorder. I'm not bad, and neither are homosexuals. Neither of us chose to have disorders, but we still do. Why is it so horrible admitting truth?

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.

In this PC era, truth stops the presses and most people stare in awe.

Well, I think organized religion is a form of mass delusion, but that doesn't mean everyone has to become atheist.

Before or after they decided it was no longer a mental disorder?

It either is or it ain't and if they were wrong to begin with, what is their source of credibility when they reverse themselves?
