HOMOSEXUALS AND HETEROSEXUALS

March 11, 2009

The survey showed that those men who accepted their homosexuality, and who were least concerned about society’s reaction to them, were least likely to have psychological problems such as depression, alienation, loneliness, and guilt. By contrast those few homosexual men who believed homosexuality was a ‘mental disease’ had the most problems.

However, contrary to the current medical belief, the majority of homosexual men were as normal psychologically as the majority of heterosexual men. Psychiatrists have noted the high degree of psychological disturbance in the homosexual men they see, either because the man has consulted them, or because the police have sought an opinion about a homosexual they have arrested. Dr Weinberg’s study rejected this psychiatric view, pointing out that most of the homosexual men surveyed were well adjusted. This statement applied particularly to those men who had a stable relationship or who had ‘come out’ and openly admitted their homosexuality.
