n the past, the studies of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people involved only those in therapy, thus biasing the resulting conclusions. When researchers examined data about such people who were not in therapy, the idea that homosexuality was a mental illness was quickly found to be untrue. In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association confirmed the importance of the new, better-designed research and removed homosexuality from the official manual that lists mental and emotional disorders. Two years later, the American Psychological Association passed a resolution supporting this removal.
For more than 25 years, both associations have urged all mental health professionals to help dispel the stigma of mental illness that some people still associate with homosexual orientation.
APA Help Center - Health & Emotional Wellness - "Sexual Orientation and Homosexuality"
It doesn't take a brain trust to understand that a test given to psychiatric patients with diagnosed mental illnesses is going to have different results than the same test given to those who are not mentally ill.

Instead of doing the other typical thing, which is taking something in a strictly literal sense, that pro-homosexual people do when they have been pressed into a corner. You would have done yourself a service by doing actual research on the study to see if you wouldn't once again be shown to look like a fool.
MMPI: All You Wanted to Know About It

So instead of trying to prove "me" wrong, why don't you stick with the study itself dude. Cause you ain't got what it takes to shake "me". By the way, your cut and paste points out occurrences prior to 1973, the studies did that. My study is from 1980. Braintrust.

Remember what you said about not wanting to discuss issues with me? Why don't you stick with that?

Not really, that was your statement. I've never threatened to leave a website like some kind of [what you love to call OD]. You've done it twice that I know of. Considering the obvious difficulties with gender, your previous behavior patterns, and your pretty hair, it's quite obvious to any other man which of us is much more likely to wear panties and therefore have said panties in a twist.
Or it could be a wig.

I have no need for a wig because I have HAIR - why would somebody with hair need a wig? I'm fairly certain wigs were invented for BALD people.
