Incidentally, this is the unfortunate outcome of such misinformed bigotry, which I happened upon this morning.

I got a grip, a gaffer, and a best boy on my side already.
You have a bunch of people with worthless degrees and student debt that condemns them to a lifetime of indentured servitude during the years when they should be learning how to think.
BTW: I assume that neither you nor your family ever goes near a doctor, paediatrician, social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist given their “worthless degrees” and “lifetime of indentured servitude” when they "should be learning how to think" - correct?
Well, when you start to support homosexuality as normal human behavior and angrily attack anyone who doesn't, that's a pretty good indication that the organization as a whole has either gone insane and/or is keeping its quiet due to funding pressures. Double that if most of your funding and credentialing comes from the government, triple if that government is a democracy, quadruple if that democracy's media has many prominent homosexuals in positions of power and influence.
It is reasonable in my view to accept the findings of the members of the APA (psychiatry), the APA (psychology), the AMA, the NASW, and the rest of the professional associations in the USA, let alone their equivalents worldwide, that homosexuality is normal, innate human behaviour for some and not a choice. The fact that this contradicts your unevidenced prejudices is irrelevant.
The DSM-IV was never my holy book. Psychology is a science very much in development, and open to influence from all interested parties.
