So you are basically admitting your intentions to offend gay users in this forum when you said multiple times it is a disorder?Offensive, yes. Homophobic, no.
This isn't universal though. A lot of professional practitioners and science still consider it unnatural.Homosexuality hasn't been considered a disorder for for a long time now .

Notwithstanding the oddball you're talking to, is it fair to say you are a member of Resetera?You’re right. Bigot is a better description for you.

Which one?I don’t know what that word means.

You are beyond parody. I'll leave you to it, though.what? Is this a parody account
The WHO also gave out wrong info regarding covid-19. I wouldn't take their word as gospel. But of course, it's your choice.If the WHO says it's not a disorder, it's good enough for me.
Here is an alternate opinion.If the WHO says it's not a disorder, it's good enough for me.
....it is an absurd conclusion arrived at from the erroneous premise that any thought process that does not cause maladjustment is not a mental disorder.
I’m gonna bang...My Alexios romanced anyone when the option came up. Always a good laugh. Even more funny after the that DLC, he just moved on to his next hit.
He really needs an STD checkup.
Gone are the days when you could just play a game, escape reality a little and become someone else. Nowadays you have to play as who you are in real life, and if the devs won't allow you to do that, even if it's just for a small part of the game, the DLC in this case, they're hateful biggots. I just love what pop culture has become.While Odyssey came out strong with an approach that encouraged players to roleplay as a heterosexual, homosexual or asexual character, that narrative hit a bump when DLC forced your protagonist to marry and have a child. While Ubisoft apologised and corrected the mistake, one hopes that Valhalla will learn from Odyssey‘s mistakes and provide a playthrough with the need for a patch.

Just leave romances out of these games entirely. They add very little value but come with the huge downside that unless the writing is perfect and you cater to the infinite combinations of sex when you try to represent the sexual fetishes of the 0.000001%, the goat people will be at the gates.
Here is an alternate opinion.
(Robert L. Kinney III, The Linacre Quarterly , 2015; fair warning, it's the official journal of the Catholic Medical Association, so it might be biased.)
It argues that "adjustment and social functioning" are not sufficient to determine whether something is a mental disorder or not, the problems that using only these factors causes in the classification of other potential mental disorders like for sadists or exposers and proposes an alternative.
Out of context quote, I recommend reading the full thing..
Personally , I am undecided on that front..
Even if it is a disorder, maybe just keeping the medical equivalent of a legal fiction for some harmless mental disorders, and just treating them as if they were not disorders, even though they are, is ultimately better for everyone, since no treatment is required?
What is the point of being adamant about it being a disorder, when you do not intend to do anything (like in the form of treatment) about it anyway?
Does the "adjustment and social functioning" based classification cause mental disorders that really should be treated to go untreated?
lmao "mistake"While Odyssey came out strong with an approach that encouraged players to roleplay as a heterosexual, homosexual or asexual character, that narrative hit a bump when DLC forced your protagonist to marry and have a child.

It's funny, I'm gay and I really don't even worry about what people call it, all I know is I have never been attracted to women sexually and I knew I was attracted to the same sex at the same time all of my friends started getting into girls. Nobody groomed me to be gay, had never knowingly met a gay person until I as in my mid teens and that was a sisters friend who just came by to pick her up lol. There are people out there who say we choose it, we don't and we can tell them until we are blue in the face but they'd rather believe the person who asks them for money every Sunday instead,
It’s not normal, never has been. It’s a disorder.
