I feel obliged to point out that when people try and equate behavior that is completely within the bounds of what society considers normal (being gay) with what can be a crippling and life affecting condition, it does nobody a service. Anymore than e.g. saying red hair used to be a sign of weakness, outdated views have no bearing on this discussion. Just because outdated views once existed and that normal behavior is now normal does not mean that we shouldn't label impairments as such in order to try and understand and help those affected by them.

Edit: very interested in feedback on why this either rubbed some people the wrong way or was perceived as a negative contribution to the discussion
