In the book entitled "The Complete Life Encyclopedia" homosexuality is listed under Gender Identity Disorder.
It states... Male homosexuality seems to occur most frequently when the son has an absent or detached father in childhood and spends a great deal of time with is mother and other females. As a result, he identifies sexually with his mother and may even develop her mannerisms. Yet, he will also crave the attention and affection of his absent father. During the adolescent years of raging hormones, this often results in homosexual tendencies and temptations. These temptations are not at the fault of the young person, but it is important that the individual understand that he has a chance to yield these urges.
A lesbian is a female who engages in sexual relations with another female. The sources of her disorder may be an absent or workaholic mother, which produces a tendency to identify more with her father. She may develop his mannerisms and model her sexual identity on his, even though she craves the attention and affection of her absent mother. As an adolescent, confusing her need for emotional nurture with eroticism, she manifests lesbian tendencies. Again, as with homosexuals, the key element in her behavior is not one of her temptations or urges, but the element of her choice. She has the power to choose to act out these urges or not to.
Many adolescents with gender identity disorders can be helped and enabled to make healthy emotional choices that will cement their sexual orientations in the direction of homosexuality. Many adolescents are confused about their gender identity, but they are not full-fledged homosexuals. They are at a crossroads. This confusion may lead them to experiment with homosexual behavior, and with time and experience, they may become compulsively addicted to homosexual or lesbian behavior.
Hasn't this subject already been debated to death on CD? Those who see it as a psychological disorder--or worse, an "abomination"--will not be swayed. Neither will those who see it as just one of those things that happen in nature.
All I know is I'm pretty ticked that Obama hasn't repealed Don't ask don't tell. One of my old friends (who just recently came out) is being discharged from the Air Force and won't be allowed to go back to Afghanistan. Dude is willing to die for this country yet they won't let him, in a 2 front war no less. Ridiculous.

He didn't follow the military rules in place. His choice. Now he pays the price. Simple.
