Is it mostly just religious people who say homosexuality is a mental illness?

I'm not enough around religious people to understand their average thinking process on the matter, I'm even less around people concluding that homosexuality could have anything to do with mental illnesses. I don't even clearly understand what is mental illness seen from the perspective of someone religious enough, because if God created everything, good and evil, how to make sense of mental illness then? It can't be a mistake because God wouldn't be able to make any mistake. So what is the function of mental illness in a universe created by God?

I'm not sure, I'm an atheist. I think it's a birth defect, not just the mind is affected, by this the whole body is wired wrong. https://legacy.nimbios.org//press/FS_homosexuality

Mostly? I think it's almost exclusively religious people. Most people are raised with some religion, and it takes considerable thought to leave that religion. Thoughtful people are generally more tolerant, because once you abandon belief in old books, there's no reason to care about what people do in the bedroom.

No I've said that. "Illness" is a bit much. So maybe negatively yeah religious people.

But I've said it could be born witn or it could psychological based on experience and upbringing. Either way, its not an illness that hurts anyone.

So like trans people, take two gay bars, a parade and call me in the morning.

Religious people don't know science, otherwise, they would know it's actually a genetic disorder, or hormonal imbalance (proven on some animals like mice and fruit flies).

If it were a mental illness, then psychiatrists would be able to heal it at least partially.

Homosexuality is a mental illness. There must be something wrong with a guy who fucks another guy up the ass, instead of finding a woman and fucking her in the pussy.

Something wrong with that guy. As in, Lost his damned mind.

No. I think in biological term homosexual couples don't crate progeny, ergo: this sexual deviation is in biological terms an illness because it prevents main biological function of a life form.

Well to be fair, the rest of us think religion is a mental illness. A terminal mental illness at that.

[Shiprex]

Often it is but it's actually THEIR mental illness of believing in imaginary people in the sky and thinking zombies came back to save everyone.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

No, it’s mostly homophobes who don’t want to admit they have gay thoughts

[Berethor]

I guess, but I am not religious and I don't consider homosexuality to be a healthy thing.

The concept of mental illness comes from psychology. It's a pseudo-science...

[unending]

You know how Democrats screamed "TRUST THE SCIENCE" during COVID while ignoring and censoring all the biologists and medical professionals... They were talking about psychology. They trusted in the ability to brainwash people based on psychology.

[OneViewpoint]

A cult member complaining about "brainwashing" while blind to the irony of that accusation. You are fucking hilarious!

[unending]

@OneViewpoint Is that what you are doing "cult member"...

[Anonymous]

No, not mostly, anyone who thinks it's a mental illness is just stupid.

[queenofcardio]

Sounds about right

[WindAtMyBack]

Not even close.

[Sal_Monella]

Not from what I have observed.

[jahaims]

It's a way people cope with trauma

[noohair]

no they call it sin...

[blackeagle007]

Is it proven to be an illness?

[4ngelic]

pretty much

[MasterKS]

Mostly yes.
