Homosexuality Is A Mental Disorder... At least that's what the U.S. Pentagon thinks!

WASHINGTON - A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position.

The document outlines retirement or other discharge policies for service members with physical disabilities, and in a section on defects lists homosexuality alongside mental retardation and personality disorders.

3. They're preparing for a military draft
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 04:28 PM by IanDB1
How many straight people would be willing to tell the draft board that we are ineligible for service because we are gay or bi?

In the past, that would get you prosecuted for "faking a mental illness" to get out of service.

But, they can't prosecute you for that unless the military classifies homosexuality as a "mental illness."

This is about plugging the holes prior to instituting a draft, in my opinion.

7. they ought to read the words of the new consecrate episcopal bishop,
who believes, i read here at DU yesterday, that some people have different gifts given to them by God, and that some people were created by God to love people of the same gender .

quite a revolutionary point of view which ought to send deep shock waves in that pentagon and other right wing nut houses.

11. Gene Robinson is a man who
isn't going to be silenced, or run away from what he believes.
And I'm proud that he came from this granite-headed state of mine-

But he's still taking heat- and still fighting hard.
I expect the pentagon and the right wing will just blow him off-

He doesn't fit their agenda-
straight and narrow- minded.
