Psychiatrist Says Homosexuality Is A Mental Disorder

While speaking at the 18th Congress of Psychiatrists of Russia last week, Olga Bukhanovskaya, chief physician of the Phoenix Medical and Rehabilitation Scientific Center said that homosexuality and transgenderism is a mental disorder. Homosexual activity was classified as a mental disorder in the U.S. until the early 1970s.

“If people now use the nice-sounding phrase ‘autism spectrum disorder’ then we can say ‘transgender spectrum disorder’ and all of these mental illnesses fall under it,” Bukhanovskaya said.

The doctors said that Russia is facing a “transgender epidemic” fueled by foreign funding and propaganda.

She proposed five new categories of mental illness: homosexuality, fetishistic transvestism (cross-dressing linked to sexual arousal), personality disorders, schizotypal disorder, and schizophrenia with periodic effeminacy (intermittent feminine behavior or traits in men).

She discussed medical indoctrination which she said results in the gay stuff.

“She accused what she called a ‘fifth column of medicine’ of promoting transgender rights, saying ‘trans-LGBT-friendly doctors,’ psychologists and lecturers were indoctrinating patients and the wider medical community,” RT said Wednesday.

Until 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) categorized homosexuality as a mental disorder in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).

The United States has long criminalized homosexuality, with the last laws being repealed by the Supreme Court in the 2003 case Lawrence v. Texas.

Throughout the second half of the 20th century states began to decriminalize and outright permit homosexuality.

American colonies prescribed the death penalty for homosexual acts. A short excerpt from an extensive history of colonial bans on homosexuality was reported by The Death Penalty Information Center. They said:

The first colo­nial set­tlers in North America passed laws pun­ish­ing gay sex with the death penal­ty. In 1636, the Plymouth Colony wrote a sim­ple list of ​“Capitall offens­es lyable (sic) to death” that includ­ed sodomy, trea­son, witch­craft, arson, rape, mur­der, bes­tial­i­ty, and adul­tery. In 1641, the Massachusetts Bay Colony adopt­ed the Body of Laws and Liberties, which estab­lished twelve cap­i­tal offens­es includ­ing sodomy. The Bay Colony’s statutes direct­ly reflect­ed the lan­guage of the Old Testament, quot­ing Leviticus 20:13. This lan­guage would remain on the books in Connecticut until 1822.
