Via Mavaddat Javid: Bahai Faith Discriminates on Homosexuals
There is literally not a single accredited medical institution in North America that regards being gay as cognitively or psychologically aberrant in anyway. What you wrote is a reflection of the current +Bahai Faith dogma, but the Bahá'í belief has no correspondence to reality. Your ignorant claim that "Homosexuality is a behavioral and mental disorder" stands in contradiction to the professional judgment of every accredited medical and psychological institution in North America (including the +American Medical Association (AMA), +American Psychiatric Nurses Association, +American Psychological Association, +American Academy of Pediatrics. They all agree there's no medical, psychological, or social reason to judge same sex relationships immoral or unhealthy.
