As a psychology student, there's a reason why homosexuality isn't included in the DSM anymore. Granted, it used to be... But homosexuality hasn't been included in the manual since 1973. Obviously nobody has to agree with homosexuality, but people that think it's a mental disorder are basically living in the dark ages.

It's like saying the earth is flat, when it's obviously not. Nature vs. nurture, will always be up for debate in terms of homosexuality, but anyone who thinks its a mental disorder... You might as well not even bother explaining it as to why it isn't. You're wasting your time and theirs. That view is so skewed its not even worth trying to explain it out.
