The phrase does not forgive you from making a bad interpretation. My words cannot be seen to even indirectly lead to the implication you made.I said "as if." Which shows you're not paying attention.
Your link is worthless beyond its historical value.I provided a link that shows that homosexuality was considered by the medical community to be a mental illness at some point.
Medical science like all science is forever improving. The medical understanding of homosexuality changed and the change stuck. You can reminisce all you want. It does not make your point a valid one.Meaning there are medical reasons for it to be a mental illness.
Medical reasons biased by matters of personal taste and religion have been gradually extracted from the field based on objective data.Medical reasons are not "matters of taste" nor "dictates of [a] particular religion."
Mental health researchers and practitioners draw the conclusions - not community members. Why are there so many posters on this site who require others to prove negatives. ANSWER: the positive evidence is very clear. There is no where else for them to criticize.It's the homosexual community (and their supporters) who have provided no basis for it NOT to be considered a mental illness, aside from that they're offended by it being one (which is no basis at all for removing it from the list of mental illnesses).
Based on the decisions of medical professionals.Outdated only in the sense that it has become common to accept homosexuals as normal
You have to compare pathology between groups to have a meaningful conclusion. And, people with personality disorders who have confusion about their sexuality could be considered primarily heterosexual so do not heap them in the gay category.So, homosexual mass murderers aren't mentally ill?

Severely mentally ill persons cannot hide the impact.Anyone can hide their symptoms, especially if people aren't looking.
Why do you and a few fringe professionals have a special track on this that other well-informed researchers have missed?It doesn't change the fact that they are mentally ill.
Christianity is true because Christ did, in fact, rise from the dead. If He did not rise from the dead, then you might have an argument against Christianity, but since He did, you don no
Christ did rise from the dead. Therefore Christianity is true.
OR
Christ did not rise from the dead. Therefore Christianity is false.
Rising from the dead only proves someone can rise from the dead. Why are the particulars of anything else validated by that? Everything else needs independent verification.
