The only definition I have managed to extract is "anything I don't like." I should not have to explain why that is wrong.

Yet research can be blatantly faulty or not, regardless of political bias. Thus far, research overwhelmingly proves homosexuality to be just another natural, normal and perfectly harmless sexual orientation.

It's been demonstrated. We gave a simple example of another characteristic that's statistically rare, literacy. Under your definition, literacy is a disorder.

Unfortunately, you're a selective learner, to put it nicely.

An interesting article. Given Asia's concept of gender as a more fluid though, perhaps not as unexpected as it first seems to be.

Allow me to divine. Is literacy another one of those concepts that you'd rather define to suit your own prejudices, logic be damned?

No. Not really. At the time people tried to exterminate them instead of help. And now politics has changed. Stand by them and you get more vote. So why not ?

Proving a lack of political bias is unnecessary. So long as the research's methods are valid and its conclusions are logically sound, whether the research is biased or not is irrelevant. If current research conclusively proves homosexuality to be anything but a disease, whether that research has political motivations or not is irrelevant, since the results are undeniably real.
