| | Homosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | For example, Men who have sex with men, or MSM for short, is sometimes used in the medical community when specifically discussing sexual behavior (regardless of sexual orientation or self-identification). | | | Homosexual behavior is common in the Animal Kingdom, especially in species closer to humans on the evolutionary scale, such as the great apes. | | | Many modern studies, most notably the Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and the Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953) by Alfred Kinsey have found that the majority of humans have had homosexual experiences or sensations and are bisexual. |

| | CMA Homosexuality and Hope |
| | The Catholic Medical Association is dedicated to upholding the principles of the Catholic Faith as related to the practice of medicine and to promoting Catholic medical ethics to the medical profession, including mental health professionals, the clergy, and the general public. | | | If Catholic medical professionals have in the past failed to meet the needs of this patient population, failed to work diligently to develop effective prevention and treatment therapies, or failed to treat patients experiencing these problems with the respect due every person, we ask forgiveness. | | | While any attempt to teach the sinfulness of illicit homosexual behavior may be greeted with accusations of 'homophobia', the reality is that Christ calls all to chastity in keeping with their particular state of life. |

| | Medical Downside of Homosexual Behavior |
| | Yet the medical and social science evidence indicate that homosexual behavior is uniformly unhealthy. | | | To shed light on the medical and scientific research into same-sex attraction and homosexual behavior, ZENIT approached Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons. | | | HREF="http://www.zenit.org">(Zenit.org).- Amid the push for same-sex unions in Canada and the recent overturning of Texas' sodomy law, an aspect of the underlying issue is sometimes overlooked: the medical consequences of homosexual behavior. |

| | Drawing on original research from medical texts, |
| | In her considerations of medical texts, psychiatric case histories, legal cases, personal narratives, and journalistic accounts, Terry exposes with patience (and, at times, with resigned humor) the ways cultural bias infects the supposedly objective arena of science. | | | Jennifer Terry is associate professor of comparative studies at Ohio State University and co-editor of Deviant Bodies: Critical Perspectives on Difference in Science and Popular Culture (Indiana 1995) and Processed Lives: Gender and Technology in Everyday Life (Routledge 1997). | | | Drawing on original research from medical texts, psychiatric case histories, pioneering statistical surveys, first-person accounts, legal cases, sensationalist journalism, and legislative debates, Jennifer Terry has written a nuanced and textured history of how the century-old obsession with homosexuality is deeply tied to changing American anxieties about social and sexual order in the modern age. |

| | ANTI-GAY SLOGAN FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | Though the psychiatric establishment did medicalize same-sex love, that position has been revised and homosexuality was removed as a medical disorder from the DSM4 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). | | | The epidemic, however, has touched primarily people enagaged in opposite-sex behaviors, and medical evidence indicates the disease is propagated not because the sex of the partner is the same as one's own, but as a factor of unhygienic sexual behaviors (such as relations with multiple partners concurrent with an absence of protective techniques). | | | This particular charge dates back to Plato, who claimed that male love was "against nature" ''(para-physein).'' In recent times the discussion has been framed in psychiatric rather than philosophical terms, with the claim that it is a sexual_perversion. |

| | Religion and sexual orientation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Others seek a naturalistic justification for the view that homosexual behavior is moral or that morality does not apply, pointing to evidence of the existence of such behavior in the animal kingdom. | | | Homosexuality was listed in psychological manuals as one of many sexual disorders, and many attempts were made to treat it. | | | This perception of homosexuality as a disease can in part be explained with psychology's roots in the theories of Sigmund Freud, who believed that early childhood influences determined the later sexual orientation of a person. |

| | Notes |
| | The original Hebrew and Greek of the bible have a handful of words for sexual acts, but no word for "homosexual." The word "homosexual" appears in some translations of the Bible that were published during the window of time (1900-1980s) of this century during which Medical Science considered Homosexuality to be a mental disorder. | | | Mike Lew, M.Ed., is a psychotherapist and group therapy leader, and is co-director of the Next Step Counseling and Training center in Newton Centre, Massachusetts. | | | The word "homosexual" as we use it today was first coined in 1869 during the birth of the modern psychoanalysis movement. |
