Is homosexuality a disease? Of course not!
20 16 The book "Psychological Health Education for College Students" published by Jinan University Press classifies homosexuality as a sexual psychological disorder, claiming that homosexuality is an obstacle in sex or the perversion of sexual objects.
Now, after three years, this textbook was revised when it was later reprinted. The revised textbook claims that CCMD-3 classifies homosexuality as sexual orientation disorder. Simply put, the content of the revision has changed from sexual psychological disorder to sexual orientation disorder.
Undeniably, it was written in the third edition of China Classification and Diagnostic Criteria for Mental Disorders (CCMD-3) published in 200 1. Although the concept of homosexuality is excluded from the category of mental illness, it is no longer a mental illness, but it is classified as self-disharmony homosexuality under the sub-item of sexual orientation disorder in the newly established sexual psychological disorder project.
Professor Chen Yanfang, then the leader of CCMD-3 working group, gave the answer in an interview with Phoenix Weekly. He said that the new standard takes into account the anxiety and distress of some individuals in the process of growing up, and retains the "self-discordant homosexuality". He also said that only those who are uneasy about their sexual orientation and ask for a change are included in the diagnosis.
Generally speaking, CCMD-3 believes that homosexuality is not a disease, but if you feel anxious because you are gay, it belongs to sexual psychological disorder.
As for why the diagnosis item of CCMD-3 should retain the homosexuality with self-disharmony, Liu Huaqing, a member of the working group, once said that some experts thought it was not appropriate to completely delete homosexuality from CCMD-3 at that time, because it should be in line with the situation in China at that time, and we could not take such a big step at once. Take your time and set a standard acceptable to both sides.
As time goes by, a science and an idea are familiar and recognized by more and more people. We just have to wait for that moment. But for now, homosexuals also have the right to make friends and pursue love. Pursuing the immortal love you may encounter will not live up to this short life. Of course, many homosexuals have also found their own love. There are many gay dating software, such as Blued. On Blued, you will find that many people, like themselves, are also pursuing their own fairy love! Do you remember the same-sex marriage that was blessed by most people?
