How the APA Removed Homosexuality as a Disorder (Part 1 of 4:Introduction)
When it comes to the mainstream entertainment and news media, our best bet is to apply the 90/10 rule. After so much reading and research, nobody in their right mind can deny that what we see on TV and what they tell us are 90% lies and 10% truth. And even the remaining 10% can be questionable based on the fact that we never get the whole story or only get one side of the story. When it comes to the issue of homosexuality, notice how we only get one side of the story and the other side even if given any media exposure at all is demonized or ridiculed. FOX news will only go so far and avoid asking the real questions when they cover any topic having to do with homosexuality. The side of the story that we get are predominately lies about homosexuality promoted as positive and good. Is this intentional? Well, coming from the top it is, but most messengers or people experiencing same sex attraction are unaware or are forced to self-censor what they really know or believe in order to keep their jobs.
Most of us have been conditioned (brainwashed) to think that only homosexuals and lesbians can understand, and hence be experts on homosexual and lesbian issues. In addition, we have all been conditioned to be afraid to oppose anything that a homosexual or lesbian spokesperson asserts, out of a fear of being rebuked as homophobic. This is why homosexuals and lesbians have a stranglehold on our society, even though they consist of a very small percentage of the population. Also, most people don't realize that for many many years, there has been a history of lots of blackmailing going on between people who engage in homosexual behavior, and still goes on today...especially in Hollywood. In Hollywood, you will get blacklisted (from parties, events, projects, etc.) if you are for morality. Many who have engaged in such sexual behavior run Hollywood, and there is definitely a sinister reason behind why they always stick up for homosexuality so vehemently. For example, only GOD knows how many people are walking around in a constant fear of blackmail by billionaires like David Geffen.
Most homosexuals discriminate against or even attack themselves in one way or another just to make themselves appear to be "the victim," for it is the only way that they can push their agenda, and they play this game very well. Much of the claims of victimization by society on them is an insecure projection that mostly comes from how they always blackmail each other. As a matter of fact, crimes on homosexuals are committing by other homosexuals at a much higher rate and a far greater frequency than crimes committed on homosexuals by heterosexuals.
But anyway, when dealing with my 90/10 rule, lets use Wikipedia as an example. Wiki can be good for getting the general idea about a topic, but that is as far as it goes. Referring to Wikipedia for a more elaborate definition of a word or topic that has nothing to do with any sociopolitical issue should be as far as it goes in terms of how it's used. Wikipedia was founded and run by a liberal professor. They have received many complaints of their editors putting out misinformation about certain organizations and people. People also need to be aware that in order for Wikipedia to cover themselves legally, they have publicly admitted that they are not a credible source...
Wikipedia:Academic use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiki will post certain claims and then cite sources that are considered credible by the mainstream, But if and when you dig deeper, they aren't as credible as perceived. For example, many people think the American Psychiatric Association is the expert and final say when it comes to issues of psychology and more specifically, homosexuality. Dig deeper and you'll find that the APA's decisions are almost always based on political agendas and profits for Big Pharma, and has been like that since the very early 1970s. when organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics, National Mental Health Association (NMHS), The Royal College of Psychiatrists who are also heavily affiliated with homosexual activism (Professor Michael King is founder of the Gay and Lesbian special interest group at the Royal College of Psychiatrists), and even many government and mainstream media organizations when asked to give policy statements on issues of psychiatry and more specifically homosexuality, will base all of their policy statements and decisions off of the claims that the American Psychiatric Association puts forth.
In 1973, Homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual after immense POLITICAL pressure by the homosexual activists on the timid scientists and doctors, who were unprepared for fighting their political machinery of the 1970's.
Many scientists and psychologists complained, including Ronald Bayer, PhD, who taught for over 14 years as Professor at the Center for the History and Ethics of Public Health in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences at the Columbia University, and wrote about this removal in his book "Homosexuality and American Psychiatry:"
"Instead of being engaged in a sober consideration of data, psychiatrists were swept up in a political controversy. The American Psychiatric Association had fallen victim to the disorder of a tumultuous era, when disruptive conflicts threatened to politicize every aspect of American social life. A furious egalitarianism that challenged every instance of authority had compelled psychiatric experts to negotiate the pathological status of homosexuality with homosexuals themselves. The result was not a conclusion based on an approximation of the scientific truth as dictated by reason, but was instead an action demanded by the ideological temper of the times."
Nicolas Cummings PHD who had a high position within the APA up until 2005 issued the following statement after he left the organization:
"The American Psychological Association has permitted political correctness to triumph over science, clinical knowledge and professional integrity. The public can no longer trust organized psychology to speak from evidence rather than from what it regards to be politically correct."
-Nicholas Cummings, PhD.

The psychological/psychiatric professional associations such as the APA have become little more than the research arms of the homosexual rights movement.
"Homosexual advocates have created fraudulent studies and misused, misquoted, and mischaracterized other research studies for political gain. These reports are frequently used in court cases to bring about victories for homosexual activism." -Dr. Joseph Berger
- Dr. Joseph Berger is a past President of the Ontario Branch of the American Psych Assoc and an Assembly Representative to the APA
Another past president of the APA, Dr. Robert Perloff at an 2001 APA Annual Convention, condemned what he sees as the APA's one-sided political activism....
"The APA is too goddamn politically correct...and too goddamn obeisant to special interests!"
In 2004, Dr. Perloff in support of NARTH's mission statement concluded, "the individual's right for self-determination of sexuality -- or sexual autonomy -- is, I am happy to see, inherent in NARTH's position statement: NARTH respects each client's dignity, autonomy, and free agency...every individual has the right to seek therapy to change one's sexual adaptation is considered self-evident and inalienable. I subscribe fully to the aforementioned NARTH position statement."
The California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists has (thankfully) rejected a proposed ban on reorientation therapies by activists. This is also significant, because so many already don't understand the details of same sex attraction, so those who are aware they have a choice should have a right to exercise it. It shows that homosexual activists want to suppress former homosexuals and hide the truth from others afflicted...

Here's an article written by a psychology student who develops a deeper passion for pursuing Christian counseling after discovering the huge bias for homosexual indoctrination in psychology classes and schools...
