Pentagon Disavows Homosexual Description In Decade-Old Document

June 29, 2006 – The Pentagon has caved in to homosexual activists who have criticized the military for a document titled “Certain Mental Disorders,” which listed such conditions as mental retardation, personality disorders, alcoholism, along with same-sex attractions.The Pentagon issued a disclaimer last week about the document, saying: “Homosexuality should not have been characterized as a mental disorder in an appendix of a procedural instruction. Notwithstanding its inclusion, we find no practical impact since the appendix simply listed factors that do NOT constitute a physical disability, and homosexuality of course does not.”

The American Psychiatric Association was pressured by homosexual activists in 1973 to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The decision was not based on science, but on political pressure from these radical activists.

TVC’s reports, “Homosexuality 101: A Primer” and the Homosexual Urban Legend, “Exposed: The Myth That Psychiatry Has Proven That Homosexual Behavior Is Normal,” describe how these radicals pressured APA officials into removing homosexuality from the DSM.
