I am a male heterosexual, so by your 'standards' I am deviant..
Got it! Thanks! 😛

Well that is their ultimate agenda.

 

[AdAstraPerAspera]

So both of you are completely normal in every possible way. Yeah, right. You know, red hair is a genetic deviation. What about left handedness? Is that deviant, too?

 

[Ms Tree]

They will probably argue that the examples you gave are genetic where as you being gay is a 'choice'.  Never mind the fact that there is not a single shred of evidence to support the contention.  Then someone will probably bring up the DSM IV/V as if that is the definitive definition of what is or is not physiological.   They will not pay any attention tot he fact that studies have been shown to directly contradict the DSM as early as the 1950's.  They will also ignore research presented in the 1970's that precipitated the vote to remove homosexuality from the DSM in 1974.  They will also ignore that in psychiatry as in any other science, beliefs evolve based on the evidence discovered.  Unlike religious dogma that does not change.  Based on their beliefs, we should still believe in witch craft, flat earth, geocentrism .....  after all, those were established beliefs based on observations at the time.
 
Their arguments fall like a house of cards with the slightest breeze.  They will still make them though.

Gay kids depressed and have low self worth?
Scripture getting to them by chance?

This is comedy at its best:
 

 
According to NBC’s Peter King and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, NFL officials called teams around the league to gauge interest in signing Michael Sam to their  practice squad.
 

 
Special preference?
 

 
“Now Sam and the NFL avoided a nightmare situation when he signed with the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys.”
 
This report, that is surely to upset other players vying for NFL practice squads around the league, was initially reported by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on yesterday’s edition of “First Take.”

What about other possibilities or is that the only thing you can come up with?

Hey look. It's Twisted and her sister!

How nice of you to project...http://psychology.about.com/od/theoriesofpersonality/ss/defensemech_7.htm

...your deviant behaviors unto me. Now answer the question...IS THIS THE NEW GAY AGENDA saying that EVERYBODY is as deviant as yourselves?

We could use your personality, if you like!

Psychiatry is not a 'science'.
Did you ever go to school?

And the DSM evolved because more gays were entering the mental health field. Would you take your children to a Pride Parade?

What people live in denial with is that competition and sports are hetero...crying on being bullied is homo. Where do you thing Sam is going with this? There would be no way that this guy is going to sell out any game he plays, so he is now a liability to those money-grubbing Capitalist owners.

Nobody seems to consider that even if he is the greatest player of all time, fans will distance themselves. And the teams that play against his team, may find players refusing to play. This is normal behavior.

Psychiatrists have a 4 yr medical degree, are able to dispense narcotics and study an additional 4 yrs for their specialty.  They study neurology as well has behavioral sciences.  So, yes it is a science.
 
​Perhaps you are thinking of a physiologist? 
 
I was just looking at the UTA catalog and physiology is listed in the their school of science.  So scratch that last question.

 
http://www.psychiatry.org/medical-students/what-is-a-psychiatrist

How does one become a psychiatrist?
Medical students follow a standard curriculum, with only a few opportunities for choice.  In addition to chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology, students take courses in psychiatry, behavioral science and neuroscience in the first two years of medical school.  In the last two years, students are assigned to medical specialty “clerkships,” where they study and work with physicians in at least five different medical specialties.  Medical students taking a psychiatry clerkship take care of patients with mental health in the hospital and in outpatient settings.  They also have an opportunity to work with medical and surgical patients who may have psychiatric problems or who have difficulty coping with their illness.  Because modern psychiatry places special emphasis on the relationship between mind and body, students pay special attention to issues of stress and physical illness, prevention, and behavior change, in addition to learning to care for severely mentally ill patients.  Newly graduated physicians take written examinations for a state license to practice medicine.  After graduation, doctors spend the first year of residency training in a hospital taking care of patients with a wide range of medical illnesses.  The psychiatrist-in-training then spends at least three additional years in psychiatry residency learning the diagnosis and treatment of mental health, gaining valuable skills in various forms of psychotherapy, and in the use of psychiatric medications and other treatments.
 

Sounds like a lot of science to me.  You draw your own conclusion.

I've seen many babies, children and teens at gay pride parades. Families of all ages and sizes.

And again, folks, be careful about the word "deviant." Glass houses, and all that, you know

My question is why someone would show pride in being a deviant.
