Pentagon: Homosexuality Is a Mental Disorder

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.


Critics said the reference underscores the Pentagon's failing policies on gays, and adds to a culture that has created uncertainty and insecurity around the treatment of homosexual service members, leading to anti-gay harassment.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jeremy M. Martin said the policy document is under review.

Are we going backwards???

Yes.

Pathetic and disgusting of the government, but I'm not surprised.

It really would be better, don't you think, if the Pentagon concentrated on killing people and capturing territory, and left the mental health to the professionals.

You would think having two wars to fight would demand all of their attention.

Politicians are among the most conservative people on the planet... and some of the stupidest. Too many politicians listen to the loud minority rather than the quiet majority, and respond accordingly.

I always thought wanting to be a politician was a mental disorder.

Homosexuality.... nope, not a mental disorder
