Homosexuals & Mental Health

[Emu]

They do. Everyone has a dirty little secret.

Also, Goat has a point. If there's any increased incidence of mental disroder among homosexuals, it probably stems more from their peer and family reception OF the homosexuality, and not the homosexuality in and of itself. Nearly all of the studies you posted seemed to cite diseases and disorders that are common to people with identity crises (which many homosexuals experience, once again, because of society's attitude toward homosexuals rather than the homosexuality itself. In societies where being gay is the same as being straight, these problems don't occur.)

"One study (Riess, 1980) used the MMPI, that venerable and well-validated psychological scale, and found that homosexuals showed definite "personal and emotional oversensitivity."

Woah, woah, woah, there. Since when is the MMPI "venerable and well-validated?" Most of my psychology teachers won't take MMPIs with more than a grain of salt.
