Subject: Italian Doctor Who Says ‘Homosexuality Is a Disease’ Found Not Guilty

An Italian Public Prosecutor has exonerated Dr. Silvana De Mari of charges of defamation after the physician declared that homosexuality is a pathology.

The LGBT advocacy group Torino Pride brought the accusation of defamation against Dr. De Mari, alleging that she had effectively defamed the character of gays by declaring homosexuality to be an illness.

After months of deliberation, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has ruled that the statements by the 64-year-old doctor and author did not constitute defamation because of the impossibility of identifying the individuals who would have possibly suffered injury from the claim.

In her defense, Dr. De Mari said that homosexuality is clearly not a normal condition, while also citing her own expertise in the matter.

“I have three specialties: psychotherapy, medicine and surgery,” De Mari said. “I have been taking care of homosexual persons for 40 years.”

Homosexuality is clearly a disease. When your brain disagrees with your anatomy it is a mental disorder.

It's in the DSM-5 book (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). People should understand that aiding people that may be suffering from these types of delusions only perpetuates the worst outcome for the patient... Usually suicide.

Man, the judgers are out tonight! Who cares what people do in their own time? I know many gay people and honestly you wouldnt know they were homosexual unless they told you. The flamboyant ones who demand wedding cakes are the exception, in my view

7:43 the arguments being made are not if gays are nice people, but that homosexuality is NOT normal. It's not under a divine standard or evolution standard. No reasonable argument can be made to the contrary.
We have the reproductive organs we were born with for ONE reason. Any deviation from their original purpose is just that- deviant.
I'm not making a moral judgement. Just scientific fact.
The LGBTXYZ folks should stop trying to make the majority think it is "normal", because it's not. They should only encourage selected acceptance.
What's next? ...pedofilia??!! Just because some people choose to do it doesn't mean it's normal. You laugh and cringe at the thought of that being socially acceptable the same way society did 30 years ago.

Please define "Normal", as you are using it.

Homosexuality is found in small percentages of the human population in almost every culture in human history. Similarly, in the animal kingdom, small percentages of the population is homosexual in many species.

I would call that a normal, natural occurrence.

I am open to being persuaded to the contrary, provided compelling evidence is presented.

To be sure though, my holy book says gay people are yucky is not a legitimate argument.

If your holy text says don't be gay you are more than welcome to exercise your freedom of religion and not be gay, but you don't get to use that as a judgement, or a standard, nor do you get to impose the view upon society.
