WASHINGTON ? A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental
disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position.
The document outlines retirement or other discharge policies for
service members with physical disabilities, and in a section on
defects lists homosexuality alongside mental retardation and
personality disorders.
Critics said the reference underscores the Pentagon's failing policies
on gays, and adds to a culture that has created uncertainty and
insecurity around the treatment of homosexual service members, leading
to anti-gay harassment.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jeremy M. Martin said the policy document
is under review.
