I am saying it is abnormal biologically. It's a dead end. So is Down's syndrome, but you wouldn't call THAT a 'feature' of humanity, would you? (I'm NOT equating the two.)
Isn't there strong evidence that homosexuality is a reactionary behavior to adverse childhoods in SOME people?

no

The American Academy of Pediatrics stated in Pediatrics in 2004:

“ There is no scientific evidence that abnormal parenting, sexual abuse, or other adverse life events influence sexual orientation. Current knowledge suggests that sexual orientation is usually established during early childhood.[3][164]

The American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, and National Association of Social Workers stated in 2006:

“ Currently, there is no scientific consensus about the specific factors that cause an individual to become heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual—including possible biological, psychological, or social effects of the parents' sexual orientation. However, the available evidence indicates that the vast majority of lesbian and gay adults were raised by heterosexual parents and the vast majority of children raised by lesbian and gay parents eventually grow up to be heterosexual.[1]

I swear to god, the APA is dead to me as long as 'Gender dysphoria' is left off the list.

"Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (i.e., sexual minority) individuals may experience disproportionately higher prevalence of adverse childhood experiences."

that doesn't mean adverse childhood experiences cause homosexuality

It kinda looks like a contributor

you don't really know how to interpret data, do you?

you are assuming a causation based on a correlation

nothing about that statement suggests adverse childhood experiences cause homosexuality

its entirely possible homosexuals have more adverse childhood experiences as a result of being bullied for being gay

did you ever consider that?

From their parents?

what do their parents have to do with it?

... that's what the study is about

and yes, many many times parents will reject gay children, one of the great things about living in a country filled with religious people who have been taught homosexuals are on the same level as child molesters

the medical community removed the dmental condition tied to trans. It isnt a minority it is not medical fact. And before homosexuality was om the fetish list
It wasnt seen as a mental issue but a fetish.

That was also removed

because its not true

lol

homosexuality isn't a fetish

Actually it is

its a sexual orientation

I mean, technically they're the same thing

it is no more a fetish than heterosexuality is

Its a sexual attractiom

The reliability of the notion that pedophilia is caused by sexual abuse in childhood was explored by examining retrospective self-reports of 344 males. Included in the study were 77 heterosexual pedophiles, 54 homosexual pedophiles, 51 nonpedophilic sex offenders against children, 36 sex offenders against physically mature females, 75 heterosexual paid volunteers who erotically preferred mature females, and 51 homosexual clients who preferred mature males. For each sex offender the differential diagnosis of an erotic preference for minors vs. a preference for physically mature partners was made by means of the phallometric test of erotic gender and age preferences. The analysis of self-reports confirmed that the proportion of pedophiles who report having been sexually abused in childhood by mature persons is larger than that of men who were not charged for or accused of a sex offense against a child though the difference is relatively small (28.6 vs. 13.9 and 10.7% for the heterosexual pedophiles and the two groups of gynephiles, respectively, and 25.9 vs. 11.8% for the homosexual pedophiles and androphiles, respectively). Further analysis demonstrated, however, that pedophiles who admitted having an erotic interest in children significantly more often claimed that they had been sexually abused as children than pedophiles who did not admit having such feelings. This interdependence renders the reliability of these self-reports questionable.

Wrong

Hetero is survival

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2082860

everything sexual outside of natural survival is a fetish

The sample size if they do this again will be much higher

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Hey, this guy gets it

So sexual abuse has some effect on self reports

And actually I would even say homosexuality not being linked to mental isues is a debatable subject. Seeing as the overwhelming number of lesbians are so post a bad relationship

for pedophiles

@Deleted User lol we're not talking about pedos

Pedo homo
