Naraht should have clarified if he, himself, is placing homosexuality in the spectrum of diseases, disorders, or conditions.

If he was making a general statement it is easy to clarify a general statement by stating that your post was based on centuries of world views on homosexuality as deviant, criminal, and socially, psychologically, mentally, and medically problematic.

There are people out there that want Homosexuality (or anywhere other than Heterosexuality) diagnosed prenatally by finding a gay gene to as part of a Cure for Homosexuality, despite both the considerably research that it is not a single gene and the fact that many people (including myself) find that sort of effort to Cure it repugnant.

(and I'd like to see some become many!)

Does *that* clear it up?
