IT'S A MENTAL ILLNESS Don't be so stupid you bloody homophobe! GET A LIFE!

So being hetrosexual must also be an illness then?

YOU are the one who is not normal, society accepts homosexuality, so why can't you?

i heard gays are queer being a bigotted moron Is an illness, though

I disagree.

i'm glad you think being gay is an illness. i think being ignorant and stupid is an illness too. do you agree?

btw, thanx for the points!

Never heard it quite like that. I have a cousin who was feminine when he was just a toddler and he is gay today at 50 years old. I think some cases can't be changed. yes it's an illness
because god create man and women for each other

like Adam and eve
it's not Adam and George

hi!
its not an illness,
most probably its because the family-condition u grow in! the way they behave with u, and if ur parents teach u things as well.
its all mentally problem that mostly hypnotraphists can get it, and solve it. its not a problem and its not with u when ur born!
gradualy ull get in 2.

WE ARE WHAT WE ARE HOW CAN YOU SUGGEST IT IS AN ILLNESS? Please . please. The only comment I can make is that the gay and lesbian community often begs for others to tolerate who they are . fine. But, when somebody with a different opinion comes along, the gay and lesbian community offer zero tolerance! This happened at Ryerson University in Toronto. Dr. Margaret Sommerville was invited to be issued an honorary degree by that university for the body of her work on medical ethics. Because Sommerville has written work that opposes gay marriages, the gay and lesbian community jumped all over her and Ryerson for offering the degree, citing that Ryerson should have uninvited her and instead found somebody that supports their "agenda". Free speech and tolerance works both ways.

there is no evidence that it is an illness.

If being gay was an illness than there would be medication to treat it such is the same for diabetes and high blood pressure. There is no significant scientific evidence to suggest that homosexuality is an illness. However, scientists have been carrying out research for a very long period of time into homosexuality and they are not far from proving that there is a gene responsible for determining whether or not somebody is homosexual. If proven, (which they are 98% sure it will be) the gene responsible is transferred from the moment of conception. Therefore, one could argue that it has nothing to do with psychological or emotional brain processes, chemical imbalances, a persons up bringing or their environment. It would be purely linked to human genetics which a person is unable to determine or control. It is also not important who or how we fall in love with somebody. What is important is that we are happy and love another human being as much as they love us. Have a look on google and type in new scientist and homosexuality. That should answer all your questions
