Since 1975, the American Psychological Association has called on
psychologists to take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness that
has long been associated with lesbian, gay, and bisexual orientations. The
discipline of psychology is concerned with the well-being of people and
groups and therefore with threats to that well-being. The prejudice and
discrimination that people who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual
regularly experience have been shown to have negative psychological effects.
This information is designed to provide accurate information for those who
want to better understand sexual orientation and the impact of prejudice and
discrimination on those who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. | s********n

American Psychological Association
No, lesbian, gay, and bisexual orientations are not disorders. Research has
found no inherent association between any of these sexual orientations and
psychopathology. Both heterosexual behavior and homosexual behavior are
normal aspects of human sexuality. Both have been documented in many
different cultures and historical eras. Despite the persistence of
stereotypes that portray lesbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed,
several decades of research and clinical experience have led all mainstream
medical and mental health organizations in this country to conclude that
these orientations represent normal forms of human experience. Lesbian, gay,
and bisexual relationships are normal forms of human bonding. Therefore,
these mainstream organizations long ago abandoned classifications of
homosexuality as a mental disorder.
