There's nothing to cure
Eh. We’ll see.
Realistically, nobody actually wants to be gay.
True
If the condition could be prevented, nobody would have a problem
But it's pre determined and every attempt to "fix" it ended with bad results.
So? I can say the exact same thing with every other mental condition.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
But it's not "mental"
I know what a mental condition is way too well.
Way way too well.
And it can be treated, Sexual orientation isn't.
It is though. Why else would someone be gay?
There aren’t any cures for any mental conditions.
Currently
There are ways to mitigate it
For gays? Nope
Could I weigh in with some questions?
I don't trust people to accurately describe the difference between something physiologic and pathologic
@Chump_or_Champ sure
Lol
Same
A few decades ago, wasn't homosexuality viewed as a mental disorder?
yes
If so, why? and why has that changed now?
Well
What is the difference between a mental disorder and a human trait
It seems like, at least with the trans and gender bending movement, political persuasion plays a significant role in our scientific and medical research and may have or is perverting our findings and how we proceed as a species.
With the body, you could argue women's cellulite is a disorder, but since about 80% of women get it, it could be described as a secondary sex characteristic
@SpanishAbbey good point. idk.
but cellulite or anything physical has an evolutionary purpose
Again, it comes down to how you make the distinction
Evolution and purpose don't go together
So does homosexuality
Not for the person himself though, more to his sister
Mental things are also evolutionary traits. You can't separate the body and mind so easily
mind or brain? or both?
😛
Both
They follow the same evolutionary pressures as physical traits
