I think Kathleen Melonakos is a Dyke in Denial.
She is Violently Homophobic, and we know those WHO are violently homophobic usually are subsconciously homosexuals.I do pity her really;I suspect she was traumatized to see Gay men patients walk into the clinic she was working at with freaky cases of anal abuse.
('I worked as an RN for several years during the eighties and nineties at Stanford University Medical Center, where I saw some of the damage homosexuals do to their bodies with some of their sexual practices. As a result of that eye-opening experience, I much admire the work of NARTH in the research and treatment of homosexuality.' )
She thinks she is researching homosexuality as a disorder but really she is just satisfying her undying curiosity about her own sexuality.Yes, there is the prevalent small motives like the cathodic moment of witnessing bodily abuse by the gay men in the clinic, couple with seeing professional gay men dying in their mid 40s with diseases--i am sure these factoids have contributed to her benevolent mission to convince her co-leagues & the people who read her long, factless article that homosexuality can be cured.
Give me a break!
What is perplexing really is that for a medical reseacher-- Kathleen seems highly detached from her profession: Science.How can you be essentially be a science research professional & yet be so religious??? By religious i mean- have affiliation with religious organisation like Delaware Family Foundantion.('I now live in Delaware and work in conjunction with the Delaware Family Foundation to inform the public about homosexual issues.' ).Shouldn't you be one or the other? Kathleen doesn't seem to know her Profession that well-her long--mediocre article does NOT state any medical facts other than the obvious ones that ever Joe & Jane would know as a general knowledge.Pragmaticgal was right to read between the lines that--Kathleen was semi-smpathetic with Lesbianism sex.No doubt a Freudian homosexual slip.
(But even more bizarre is Prags claiming hetero sex is a disorder. How telling lol )
'My primary question is: why isn't homosexuality considered a disorder on the basis of its medical consequences alone?'
Medical consquences??? What medical consequences?? I dont see any medical consquency stated above or if hse means the dieseases--i dont see them limited only to homosexual sex. All the diseases mentioned inflict both heteros & homos.(The homoes definitely having more risks & yes-- die or having short life span due to their hopelessness. That I agree with her--Gays die earlier than straights simply because gays are made of men--& men usually as we all know are horn dogs.)
Personally i think the only way to approach homosexuality is understanding it-delving into Psychological psyche.(And Biology as well no doubt). I am inclided to semi-agree with Freud Sigmund when he said--there is a hault of growth in the human developmental stage--where the homosexual does not develop into the Hetero stage.I said semi- agree with this theory because its not entirely true.(by the hault of growth if he means--inadeaquecies in homosexual i agree)
I also have my owm theory--that--in every homosexual --there is an imbalance of hormones respective to the sex of the individual. The female has excessive Testosterones hormones, while the male has more astrogen hormones in their system. These hormones are basically the blue print of our sexuality & more importantly --our sexual roles.Religious Zealots like this Kathleen tend to think on a generic, uninformed basis--mainly based on religious point of view.(Such as Abstaining, praying etc etc ).Which i dont say it doesnt work--but ONLY as far as abstaining & managing active homosexual behavior. Any Faith--especially Islam Faith will give you a major boost to combat this lifestyle successesfully--but remember--it will not cure homosexuality.There is nothing like 'curing' as far homosexuality is concerned. Once a homosexual always a homosexual.
(So for all you in denial--pray all u want--lol---u will always be attracted to u know what loool).
Basically my point is Homosexuality is a biological error--it happens when one in the womb.Just like a product goes through a factory --where you will have succesesful working product & others broken in the proceses of --manufacturing--the same goes with gays.Another revolutionary opinion i have is--Homosexuality exists solely to prevent population. (Which is a very good thing if you ask me--too many people as it is)
I am an elite member of society. Or atleast thats how I like to spin it.
