“A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder,
only a few lines.

“A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position.” The document was condemned “by medical professionals, members of Congress and other experts, including the American Psychiatric Association.”

1. That's ok, because the Pentagon...
...is one big mental disorder. Anything they believe to be true is necessarily total crap.

2. Hasn't this already been deemed wrong by every medical expert on earth?
Unfuckingbelievable. Another work of the vaunted Flat Earth Society. I hope their sorry fucking asses fall off the edge of their fantasy land.

4. As an enlisted man in the military
I got into a an argument with captain. He said the DSM classified homosexuality as a mental disorder. I argued with him that would've been the DSMII, and then, in 1986, we were either into DSM-III or DSM-III-R, I don't recall which.

I tried to be polite about it, but this MEDICAL DOCTOR, officer, had such a fragile ego that he couldn't deal with fact that an enlisted man 10 years younger than him might actually know something that he didn't that he got very ugly and started screaming at me. I really wanted to tell him to look up Reaction Formation and Homophobia, but decided that the argument had gone far enough.

NIce to know, after all these years, where he got his flawed information and inter sting that the military isn't updating their info...

5. Actually, I think having a mental disorder is a prerequisite...
for working in this administration.

So, perhaps they're all gay. No, wait, that would be an insult to gay people.
