Really? Where are you being educated?

Recent studies show homosexuals have a substantially greater risk of suffering from a psychiatric problems than do heterosexuals. We see higher rates of suicide, depression, bulimia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse. This paper highlights some new and significant considerations that reflect on the question of those mental illnesses and on their possible sources.

Do you think the pressures of society's attitude to homosexuals could be responsible for these symptoms?

Peace

I'd like to see some source info on this, please. Also, whatever the causes, I'll bet a milkshake that societal pressures are at least involved.

Hmm... I scanned that paper, and the one thing that struck me is the lack of context. There doesn't seem to be evidence of control groups in the studies, and like we noted, no accounting for societal pressures. One might see similar levels of mental disorders in people who are similarly oppressed, e.g. ethnic minorities and women. In fact, percentages for certain disorders are higher than the norm for oppressed minorities and women. The article doesn't discuss the unhealthy expressions of heterosexuality, which would at least provide context, and may point to a possibility that people of all sexual orientations express sexual disorders in similar ways. Back to the topic of the thread: I find it amusing that parents think that they can keep this kind of stuff from their kids for longer than it takes to cut the umbilical cord. Let's face it: their eyes and ears are theirs, and unless you want to keep them in the house and pull down the shades until they are 30, they will see and hear things besides Barney. (Talk about abominations!)

Well, one is either anti-gay or pro-guy, if the website opposes homosextuality then its anti-, that just describes it position, it doesnt make it less relaible.

It does, actually. It purports to be a scientific website, but any organisation with a clear bias has effectively given up its claim to objective scientific legitimacy.

Greetings,

so then people actually choose to be homosexual?? There has to be some kind of mental deficiency, otherwise people wouldn't try to stray from becoming homosexuals, it's a feeling they can't control. Although, some do choose to "experiment" it.

peace
 
I sent this in a private message to charisma, but I guess I'll have to repeat it: In 1973, the APA removed homosexuality from the DSM, its listing of psychiatric disorders. This is now the mainstream view, there are obviously a few holdouts, but they have the same collegial esteem as Flat Earthers have among geologists. And the idea of homosexuality as a choice has been abadoned as well. See my post on handedness.

I frankly dont have a definit answer. I can say its an abnoramlity, does it reside in the mind? I guess it does...so can it be called mental disorder?!..i still cant say.
 
:sl:
The discussion has digressed from the original issue and has moved on the general issue of homosexuality which has already been discussed ad nauseum in the following thread:
http://www.islamicboard.com/basics-islam/19533-being-gay.html
The above thread includes the discussion on
-the reasons why homosexuality is rejected from perspectives natural, moral, medical, societal, spiritual, etc.
-the Islamic position on homosexuality
-the Islamic penal law for homosexual acts

Please see the above thread.
