And is enuntered maly New York and San Francis, the two large ci that have been a mag for gay men and women for the last two some areas of the untry and among many groups, public fear over the spread of acquired immune ficiency syndrome has led to creased discrimatn and even vlence agast homosexuals, acrdg to var rights groups. The verage has spread rmatn about homosexualy general and has also unveiled a terrible sufferg that heterosexuals n empathize the same time, acrdg to those terviewed, the epimic has prompted a far wir range of people to stand up and be unted as homosexuals, many of them gray-flannel typ who do not nform to the flamboyant stereotype and are therefore ls alien to heterosexuals.

TOM HOLLAND 'UNAFFECTED' OM 'THE CROWD ROOM' GAY SCENE HATE

(NEWSER) – UCLA scientists thk they've veloped the first tt that n accurately predict whether a man is gay based on his DNA, and all tak is a swab of saliva, reports New rearchers examed 400, 000 epigeic tags — "chemils that latch onto DNA and help turn gen on or off, " explas BuzzFeed — and zeroed on five that were notably different gay and straight tws. Due largely to the misnceptn that was a “gay disease, ” would be two years before the New York Tim published s first ont-page article about AIDS and four years before then-Print Ronald Reagan first mentned of the men mentned the study were ad by the time was published, and the three others died a short time later.

Before pesg this evince, we mt crilly spect the arguments and observatns adduced for a prumed blogil atn; for as long as this ep-seated belief (that s prent form dat om the neteenth century2) prevails, the whole issue of homosexualy remas cloud ignorance and darkns.

Wh few exceptns, fdgs such as a somewhat elevated occurrence of male SSA among maternal relativ (otherwise, still not nfirmed), 31 or the slightly higher equency of olr brothers among homosexual than heterosexual men32 have been prented as support of an ad hoc—and most plited—physlogil theory, spe the existence of a simple and straightforward explanatn based on psychologil observatns.

EXPLAED: HOW MONKEYPOX IS LEADG TO THE STIGMATISATN OF GAY, BISEXUAL MEN

Methodologilly, any cintal rrelatn the field of the “blogil” and behavral scienc—such as between some nro-anatomil, nro-functnal, or other physil factor and homosexualy—should first be nfirmed a seri of replitns, different sampl and by pennt rearchers, before n be regard as reasonably tablished. 40The observatn that the homosexual tws of monozygotic pairs wh heterosexual -tws had more genr nonnformy terts and behavrs than their -tws, 41 as we saw illtrated the se of Nicholas Black, leads to a discsn of the importance of the peer factor the psychogenis of homosexualy.

83 In fact, the homosexual character nrosis, clive of homosexual pedophilia84 and probably also much of what is lled transsexualism, 85 is a syndrome of terrelated ponents: a genr ferry plex, unrveloped mascule/feme personaly habs, emotnal immatury, and excsive self-centeredns. It avoids on one si the errors of a shallow humanist-materialist view of man, wh s bldns to the moral and spirual dimensns of the soul, and s factual difference to the emotnal, medil, and moral miseri of people abandoned to the self-stctivens of the homosexual way of life.

On the other si, this approach is at variance wh the primive mentaly, which although regnizg the unnaturalns and immoraly of homosexual behavr and liaisons, reacts wh mercils harshns toward those who may feel or act upon 1Defn: chronic same-sex attractn after age 17 or 18, acpanied by near-absence of or strongly rced heterosexual attractn.

Ldström, “PET and MRI Show Differenc Cerebral Asymmetry and Functnal Connectivy between Homo- and Heterosexual Subjects, ” PNAS 105 (2008), should be led out, too, that this speculative physil peculiary would be an effect of SSA (of a homosexual life style, dg abe, venereal diseas, AIDS, or medice) stead of a e or direct predisposn.

64The relatn between endurg ferry feelgs (that is, an ferry plex) and self-dramatizatn the se of homosexualy was first scribed by Dutch psychiatrist Johan Arndt, “Een bijdrage tot het zicht homoseksuale” (A Contributn to the Unrstandg of Homosexualy), Genekundige Blan 3 (1961): 65–105. Frnd et al., “Parent-Child Relatns Transsexual and Non-Transsexual Homosexual Mal, ” Brish Journal of Psychiatry 124 [1974]: 22–23), and there are marked siari both their childhood/teenage self-view and promiscuo sexualy (Grant et al., “Preexposure Chemoprophylaxis”).

This thor reported that of 100 male ex-clients 43 percent stopped treatment wh a uple of months, 11 percent had changed radilly, 26 percent satisfactorily, 11 percent had improved, 9 percent were unchanged (average follow-up two to three years post-treatment; van n Aardweg, On the Origs and Treatment of Homosexualy, Table 40.

One may get an imprsn of the unrlyg need of change-directed help om an cintal fdg, as reported by Bell and Weberg, Homosexuali, that between one fifth and one third of practicg male homosexuals regard their sexualy as an emotnal disorr, and that even 58 percent had sought psychologil or psychiatric assistance (for unspecified reasons; Bell et al., Sexual Preference). Dpe the persistence of stereotyp that portray lbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several s of rearch and clil experience have led all mastream medil and mental health anizatns this untry to nclu that the orientatns reprent normal forms of human experience. Helpful rpons of a therapist treatg an dividual who is troubled about her or his same sex attractns clu helpg that person actively pe wh social prejudic agast homosexualy, succsfully rolve issu associated wh and rultg om ternal nflicts, and actively lead a happy and satisfyg life.

The phrase “g out” is ed to refer to several aspects of lbian, gay, and bisexual persons’ experienc: self-awarens of same-sex attractns; the tellg of one or a few people about the attractns; wispread disclosure of same-sex attractns; and intifitn wh the lbian, gay, and bisexual muny. If they are a heterosexual relatnship, their experienc may be que siar to those of people who intify as heterosexual unls they choose to e out as bisexual; that se, they will likely face some of the same prejudice and discrimatn that lbian and gay dividuals enunter. The accatn of g outdated material and viatg to realms beyond the spe of one's expertise impli two thgs; first, impli that there actually is rmatn that is more up-to-date than what the nun prented on the topic of homosexualy, and sendly impli that there are credible experts who are more qualified to teach or speak on the topic of homosexualy.

Hence, is necsary to provi a summary and analysis of that purported up-to-date scientific evince which supports the claim that homosexualy is not a mental two groups that are typilly emed thorative and credible experts on mental disorrs the Uned Stat are the Amerin Psychologil Associatn (APA) and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn; th, I will prent their stanc on homosexualy and then analyze the “scientific evince” that they claim supports their stanc.

As a rult of their ficienci, the credibily of the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn and the APA, at least their claims regardg human sexualy, is lled to Amerin Psychologil Associatn and the Amerin Psychiatric AssociatnI will beg by scribg the APA and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn, and I will then prent their stanc on the topic of homosexualy.

Therefore, there is a normal variatn (or a normal “ntuum”) of sexual replacg homosexualy wh the exampl of body tegry inty disorr and self-harm/self-mutilatn Aled Ksey's and the APA's argument (that is, if we follow the logic of Ksey and the APA) the argument would be as follows:. Ford and Beach also “pot out that among non-human primat both mal and femal engage homosexual activy” (Gentile and Miller 2009), the APA thors suggt that bee two rearchers 1951 found that homosexual sex is observed some humans and animals then the ncln follows that there is “nothg unnatural about .

Evelyn Hooker admistered a battery of standard psychologil tts to homosexual and heterosexual men who were matched for age, IQ, and tn … She nclud om her data that homosexualy is not herently associated wh psychopathology and that “homosexualy as a clil enty do not exist.

My foc for this paper is the irrelevant endpot—“adjtment”—ed by Hooker as scientific evince supportg the claim that homosexualy is normal; I foc on that endpot bee as of 2014 “adjtment” is still the endpot ced by the major associatns as scientific evince supportg the claim that homosexualy is a “normal variatn of human sexual orientatn. Gonsrek impli that if sexual orientatn is “related” to psychologil adjtment, then one uld nsir homosexually cled people to be mentally disorred; if, however, there is no difference adjtment measurements of heterosexuals and homosexuals, then (acrdg to Gonsrek) homosexualy is not a mental disorr.

HIV AND ALL GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

The brief then offers a few more catns of scientific evince supportg that claim; one article ced is a review study om 1978 which also looked at “adjtment” and “nclus that fdgs to date have not monstrated that the homosexual dividual is any ls psychologilly adjted than his heterosexual unterpart” (Hart et al.

” Gonsrek claims that bee homosexuals are siar to heterosexuals measur of prsn, self-teem, relatnship disrd, and sexual disrd, tomatilly follows that homosexualy is not a disorr, as he not: “The general ncln is clear: The studi overwhelmgly suggt that homosexualy per se is not related to psychopathology or psychologil adjtment” (Gonsrek 1991, 115–36). Hence, there are multiple mental disorrs which measurg adjtment has no relevance whatsoever to the mental disorr; this is a major ficiency the lerature ed as scientific evince to support the ncln that homosexualy is not a mental is a signifint fdg, although I am not the first to mentn the problem wh diagnosg mental disorrs by lookg at distrs, social functng, or other endpots that are clud unr the terms “adjtment” and “adaptatn.

Ronald Bayer summarized the events surroundg the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn's (1973) cisn by notg that Spzer'srtricted fn of mental disorrs, articulated after he had cid that homosexualy had been appropriately classified, entailed two elements: For a behavr to be termed a psychiatric disorr, had to be regularly acpanied by subjective distrs and/or “some generalized impairment social effectivens or functng. In orr to be nsistent wh their logic ed to normalize homosexualy, they mt normalize all other sexual actns that stimulate one to the pot of asm that do not e bad measurements of “adjtment” or rult impaired social functng; is te that they also allow a diagnosis of a sexual disorr if a viance “harm” to another, but that is only if there is lack of nsent.

STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT GAY BRAS

Unfortunately, fatally flawed reasong has served as the basis for “rigoro” and “scientific evince” supportg the claim that homosexualy is not a mental disorr but is rather a normal variant of human sexual nnot nclu (wh Aled Ksey) that a human behavr is normal simply bee is more mon than prevly assumed—otherwise all human behavrs, cludg serial killg, would have to be nsired normal.
