The APA big lie on homosexuality
The American Psychiatric Association's Big Lie
Manuel Half is the son of a homosexual father by a surrogate mother. Manuel is a beautiful artist, and he has created many wonderful graphics expressing his protest against the same-sex parenting movement.
This piece is one that I particularly like, with the image of the "APA" and it's "Big Lie" -- the lie that children of same-sex couples feel no loss at lacking a mother or father. The detail of the couple with the pin popping the bubble is awesome.
The APA, we should remember, classified homosexuality as a mental disease for over 100 years. I doubt any consensus coming from them ought to inspire much confidence in homosexuals.
The American Psychiatric Association
This particular association had a consensus for 100 years that homosexuality was a mental disorder. Members of this association endorsed eugenics, forced sterilization of people, and electroshock therapy. These are the people who tell soldiers who are shell-shocked and in tears that there's nothing wrong with them, so they have to go back to combat even though they're screaming that they want to kill themselves.
I'm constantly amazed that gay activists bank on the APA to make smart decisions regarding gay people.
They constitute a profession that deals with human beings who have mental illnesses. In order to establish whether someone has a mental illness, they use this enormous thing called a DSM, which defines what a disorder is and how to read its symptoms.
Recently, the APA tried to classify pedophilia as a sexual orientation, as if it's en par with heterosexuality and homosexuality. The move to reclassify pedophilia went down in flames, because the online firestorm was the equivalent of six counties afire in SoCal. This was done, I will betchya, under secret duress from LGBT advocates who are dying to say that all the predatory gay men who sleep with teenagers one half or one third their age aren't really gay, but something else; that way they don't have to deal with the rampant abuse of teenagers that's happening right under their noses.
But let me not belabor the point. I wouldn't trust the APA to advise me about how I should arrange the furniture in my house, because all they can do is tell me whether I am crazy. Far less would I trust them with the sensitive issue of whether to deprive a child of a mom or dad. If they could be wrong about homosexuality for 100 years, of course they can be wrong about same-sex parenting for 20 years.
