okay, this will more than likely be rebuked from everyone but im okay with that. I want a serious answer... What if homosexuality is also a mental condition? I mean, in general a very small percentage of the population is attracted to the same sex. So what if? Im not saying that homosexuals are mentally retarded. But what if homosexuality is actually a mental condition as well? And i would appreciate people avoiding statements like "But they are born this way" because so are people with mental conditions like above.

I suppose it depends what you mean by mental condition. Do you mean they simply differ from the norm, or is it more like you have a mental condition because of a hormonal imbalance?

i would say hormonal imbalance. Just because it is such a small percentage of the population... I think it truly is a mental condition just like pedophilia or necrophilia but it is different in that both parties are consenting to the sex/attraction. With the two i mentioned above, there really is no consent. (especially from the dead)

I think I partially agree with you, and I understand what you're saying. To me though, the term "mental condition" carries such a negative connotation; but I do think it isn't what we call "natural" in the sense that a "normal" human being can be gay. I completely support it, but I do agree it's closer to a mutation in the genome or an error while coding.

unless they're a vampire which btw would make twilight fans as sick as necrophiliacs which sounds...right

FYI, guys up until recently homosexuality was in fact on the United States Department of Psychological Ailments, classified as a mental disorder. That means that a lot of you are actually arguing with yourselves. The more you know...

Homosexuality is a mental condition, or maybe it's a hormonal imbalance or whatever. It is also a sexuality. I don't know for sure whether or not pedophillia and necrophillia are sexualities too, but I would guess that they're not because you never hear of them being classified as such. That, and they don't end in -sexuality like all other sexualities I know of. I personally think that the only thing seperating any sexuality from those -phillias is consent. But that's just me.

a couple decades ago it was widely accepted that homosexuality was a mental disorder, so how is what your saying any different than what people used to believe back then? not to defend pedophilies but...shit changes

dammit you beat me to it. i just logged in to say that... lol

i think the reason shit changed is because being a pedophile is having sex with a minor... and necrophiliacs have sex with the dead. Yay both of those are fucked up. But now, if a man consents with another man its not bad. But that doesnt exactly mean it isnt a mental condition.

This is just a rip from the other post saying that you shpuld condone paedophilia and necrophilia. Write something original. Just coz he got like a million negative points, doesn't mean you will get a million positive ones.

You know what sounds like fun? Reading the comments of people bitching about sexuality and probably religion. I can't possibly think of a better way to spend a night.
