Thank you for admitting what I tried to prove earlier.
Even phyciatry is not absolute and we are now using DSM fourth criteria of diagnosing mental disease.
Someone already mentioned its beyond being a mental disease.
Its a physical disease by virtue of being genetically determined...not entirely proven however...but goes along what so many heterosexuals are saying.
The notion of geneticaly determined is not so strong as even
identical twins (made from same gene divided early on) may not be both homosexual!!!!
I do feel for these diseased people. They need treatment or behavioral treatment. Leaving them alone may be Ok as long as they are not being harmful to others. But they should still be considered diseased.

I'm sure you don't agree, but an unbiased person can easily interpret that mindset as illogical ideas of the mind. As you said "..... mental disease definition is based on how many sick people themselves are defining it."

You have tried to give it a new twist.
What you wrote is not unexpected from you.
None of my post should be considered as I consider homosexuality wrong/ a diseased state of mind based on religion only.
You suggested I am intolerant of homosexuality.....thats again a misconception.

Again you brought religion or muslims in to discussion. A misguided argument.
Numbers has nothing to do with right or wrong.
All I said that accptable norm in terms of
mental behaviour is based on large number of human behaviour over centuries over entire territory of the world.
(We are not talking about beliefs here..just to remind you)
A large number of convicted murderous people under one roof and few jailors in a prison does not make murder as acceptable act.
