I think you need to update the sources on which you're depending. There is much evidence that being gay is neither a choice, nor a mental illness. The brain of an effeminate gay man is structured more like that of a straight woman, than a straight man; the brain of a masculine lesbian is structured more like that of a straight man, than a straight woman. The pheromone receptors in the noses of gay people are structured to respond to the pheromones secreted by the same sex. These are physical differences that are not governed by choice OR mental illness.
My son is gay, and there's no mental illness there. He's a completely normal kid who happens to be gay. Please educate yourself before you go labeling a whole segment of the population as mentally ill or defective.
