LGBT: Another group of victims

How many more victims groups are we going to have in this country? Add The Words now wants us to give special rights to the LGBT group. Dr. Paul R. McHugh, former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, states that the transgender issue (which he has studied for more than 20 years in the U.S. and England) is a mental disorder that merits treatment.

Those who want to make them part of the victim group do more harm then help. A new study shows that the suicide rate among transgendered people who have had surgery is 20 times higher than non-transgender people. The policy makers, do-gooders and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right rather than a mental disorder needing treatment.

Recently, reviewing another health report it was again stated that homosexuality is not genetically caused. Please stop trying to cram deviant behavior down my throat. If you choose to live that lifestyle that is your decision. But, don’t expect or demand special rights from me or the general public.
