What's telling is that there is no attempt to put it back.
Exactly. They're asserting that it was not just the APA, but that every major medical and psychological association in America, along with every major medical and psychological association in the modern world caved in and has allowed millions of people to live with a mental illness for decades because of American "homosexual activists" back in 1974. I have to admire their ability to suspend reality like that.

I think homosexuality is probably a "variation" of normal. I didn't use to feel this way, but I'm not one to bury my head in the sand and not see what's right in front of me.

With the exception of who they choose to love and have sexual relations with, homosexuals are no different than heterosexuals. Many of us straight people will always struggle with our images of gay sex, and the sort of uncomfortable feeling we get when we see two people of the same gender behaving romantically toward one another, but anybody who is willing to be realistic and see things as they really are, simply cannot deny that homosexuals are as much as part of everyday society as heterosexuals.

Hey...I think I'm experiencing some personal growth here!

Sick. They should all have their licenses revoked.
Crazy people running around cross dressing...carrying purses and wearing high heels are forcing their twisted morality on young people and causing them to have homosexual sex, do you have proof of this?

If this isn't proof enough for you, I don't know what is.
