Is Homosexuality a Mental Disorder?

No. All major professional mental health organizations have gone on record to affirm that homosexuality is not a mental disorder. In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association's Board of Trustees removed homosexuality from its official diagnostic manual, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Second Edition (DSM II). The action was taken following a review of the scientific literature and consultation with experts in the field. The experts found that homosexuality does not meet the criteria to be considered a mental illness.

What causes Homosexuality/Heterosexuality/Bisexuality?

No one knows what causes heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. Homosexuality was once thought to be the result of troubled family dynamics or faulty psychological development. Those assumptions are now understood to have been based on misinformation and prejudice. Currently there is a renewed interest in searching for biological etiologies for homosexuality. However, to date there are no replicated scientific studies supporting any specific biological etiology for homosexuality. Similarly, no specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse. Sexual abuse does not appear to be more prevalent in children who grow up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, than in children who identify as heterosexual.

kana man gud either ma-bayot or ma-tomboy inborn man gud na sa tawo... kanang pagka-bayot dili na siya sakit... kung sakit pa ning ma-bayot or ma-tomboy, matambalan or maayu unta ni sila ron... pero kana akong gisulti nga inborn, dormant pa na siya basta bata pa. pero padulong na modako ang bata going to puberty age, diha na mo-effect..

so question is whether they are normal or not? my answer is YES kay they are just human. i really do not know if sala ba ni sa ginoo pero naa ko kaila nga iglesia ni kristo nga sa ilang relihiyon sala daw na mahimong bayot or tomboy...

para nako normal na sila tawn oi! in fact some of the gay and lesbians I know are way more productive than straight men and women. Kay mas mu exert man gud sila ug effort in everything that they do. taw man gihapon na sila. i don't think there's anything wrong with them at all. Ang abnormal kay naa ra sa mental. hehe..
