Nope.
Being gay does not handicap a person in any way from being a successful, useful, happy, or productive member of society.
Call it what you want, but when a man delights in , he's just not right in head. Whether it's in prison, or in the comfort of their own home....it shows that not all the circuitry in the melon is wired properly.
Again - why does it always default back to sex?
I'm a virgin and I like women, so obviously there's a homosexual man or woman out there who is also a virgin and likes the same sex.
Should I be considered having a mental disorder because I'm a virgin at 24, going on 25 years of age?
No. There's no mental disorder associated with homosexuality whatsoever. You're only stating your opinion as such because you find it to be "icky". You have no proof or sources to back up your claim.

Where is their responsibility to society to reproduce their "elite" genes so that we can make the world a better place for future generations?

There is no responsibility on any sexual orientation to reproduce 'elite' genes as you put. Furthermore, why are you attempting to label the genes of someone different from yourself as 'elite'? Do you have an inner latent inferiority complex going on?
You should take a poll among your gay friends and find out how many of them "chose" to be gay. Yes, you DO have gay friends. An estimated 3-4% of people are gay.
When did you choose your sexual orientation? Do you remember making the choice, or was it the way you were when you were born?
And you know what! that really should not matter, being tolerant of others is what should. Expectations are much vastly different for different people.
Many great homosexual comedians, actors, actressess, talk show hosts, into sports, they all look fine to me, with no mental disorders what so ever.
I guess for those who are non tolerants of the lifstyle, have to now call it a mental disorder, i think they have mental disorders.

The post implies superiority of gay people. Their sexual orientation has nothing to with it. There are other threads on here where posters are saying gays are superior, better at relationships, etc. It's a theoretical responsibility. I am not implying anyone actually has a responsibility. If I decide not to have children, my genes will not continue, irrespective of my sexual orientation. I am also not implying a gay gene even exists.
I do feel as though (even though it Michael Savage has made it somewhat tired) liberalism is a mental disorder. Liberals have a much higher than predicted incidence of mental health problems and present with irrational, self destructive behavior. It is like a blend of manic depression and a soft thought disorder.
I could see how people with mental health problems might tend to favor liberalism, but to say that liberalism itself is a mental disorder is ridiculous.
Advice: Try to get your medical information from places like the Mayo Clinic, not Michael Savage's radio program.
I read a lot of comments about homosexuality being a mental disorder, yet I can't find a single credible source that corroborates that belief.
If you genuinely believe homosexuality is a mental disorder than surely you'll be able to provide some evidence, right?
Are you lame or something? Because if you genuinely had an interest in the subject then surely you would do some research, right?
It was listed in DSM-III up to the revision in 1987.
And why? Because homosexuals lobbied for the change. That started in the early 1970s when an homosexual psychiatrist started throwing hissy fits and temper tantrums, and then he and a group of homosexuals began threatening his colleagues and others, like the APA to make the change.
Corroborating...
