I wasn't going to respond to this b/s anymore, but since Wholley is here and is taking the blows over something I said and meant I'll give you all your menial satisfaction or disatisfaction. I was in my medical training when we hit pshchological disorders in the course in 1992. Homosexuals were mentioned in detail and the condition (Wasn't a lifestyle, was a condition) was thought to be a mental illness after years of study(100? more?)
Some psychiatrist recomended counseling, hormone replacement. Most homosexuals had been abused as children, raped, experienced regular violence and attacks, had a hormone deficiency. There was evidence that therapy didn't cure them 100% but was effective just like all psychiatry as long as the patient participated. Since homosexuality is linked to abuse and abused people are more likely to become abusers, viola! The last 10 years medical books, doctors ect... won't touch the topic. Older doctors behind closed doors will comment on this, but nothing public, if they did, even with exact proof, the gay lobby would do to them what any lobby does to anyone who speaks against their cause. Homosexuality is a control technique for gays, like control is involved in many other mental conditions. When something infringes on that or threatens their logic, and lifestyle they feel their control is threatened and attack, bipolar people are the same way in control matters.
Gay's have a high incidence of violence between eachother, in relationships, and against others. After all their idea's on love and relationships are often if not always scewed by past abuse that had been inflicted on them.
But have it your way, listen to the new age mystics, they besides long years of research know better. Often it is the homosexuals who profess to be the experts on their condition. Makes alot of sense, the maniacs incharge of the asylum, self medicating mentality, damn the facts for feelgoodism.
Here is a link to a very gentle version of some of what I'm saying. You'll be hard pressed to find things harsher than this on the net these days because of the movement to remove facts dealing with this issue.

As to that, you take it or leave it, I won't argue this any further since I tend to believe no matter what facts or rational points I make on the subject, you'll respond with some angry banter. Perhaps you should seek counseling for your anger.
On guns? Most people in America who get shot deserved it. The news only reports the shootings that back up the anti-gun lobby's claims. You don't even know how disappointed and how fast the news dropped the DC sniper case once it was discovered that black muslims did this. But look at Scott Peterson, I'd wager a hundred murders occur a day in this fashion, and look at the coverage on this one. But the worst shooting spree I can remember occurs and the trial gets little coverage. The war in Iraq and Scott Peterson make up for 60% of our news. Notice Cobe Bryant's rape is lightly reported and Micheal Jacksons case takes a major back seat to some white dork accused of killing his wife.
Look up some of the stories that are writen by women who blew away a rapist. My grandmother shot a man who broke into her house, she was 70 something at the time and alone and he had a knife. What was he going to do? Break in and carve them both up some roast beef, light candles and sing "As time goes by"?
Political Correctness is a spin device, and it is used here to twist truths, evidence and agenda's. You live in the UK, I don't know how it is there, and I don't comment much on the UK domestic stuf because of it. You have no clue as to what is going on in America I have a feeling. I live 30 miles from the Colunbine area, the stuff that didn't make the national news is amazing.
The two shooters had planted bombs, their parents knew they made them and thought nothing of it? They wrote often in school essays their plans, and it looks like a confused police department might have fired some fatal shots. The whole thing is more complicated than you know. Colorado has an issue with alot of things. It is growing at a rate firemen and polce, medical staff can't keep up. Plus the criminals are everywhere and seem to be into the drug rings and bold. A policeman shot and killed a man here 2 days ago at a gas station who tried to get the drop on him.
Gun control isn't the answer, America is so huge and full of them at this point, all you can do is try to raise your children right. If you do that they won't turn violent and most likely won't turn gay.
