The diagnostic status of homosexuality in DSM-III: a reformulation of the issues
RL Spitzer
In 1973 homosexuality per se was removed from the DSM-II classification of mental disorders and replaced by the category Sexual Orientation Disturbance. This represented a compromise between the view that preferential homosexuality is invariably a mental disorder and the view that it is merely a normal sexual variant. While the 1973 DSM-II controversy was highly public, more recently a related but less public controversy involved what became the DSM-III category of Ego-dystonic Homosexuality. The author presents the DSM-III controversy and a reformulation of the issues involved in the diagnostic status of homosexuality. He argues that what is at issue is a value judgment about heterosexuality, rather than a factual dispute about homosexuality.

yes-- not thirty years ago,this was an act no different than other sexually deviant acts, and like pedophilia or necrophilia etc etc was treated with aversion therapy (behavior modification that uses unpleasant stimuli in a controlled fashion to alter behavior in a therapeutic way) -- after heavy lobbying it is so en vogue .. still not en vogue for us Muslims though..
We are not going to change our 'dogma' to fit the political tides...homoeroticism is today what it was 30 ears ago and what it was in times of Lut.. an act of sexual deviance!
cheers!
