text: Motley:  pedophelia and homosexuality are two different things.  The plague of the Catholic Church is pedophelia.  I won't bother to argue with you.  But, the literature is readily available...   Yes, in '73 the APA removed "homosexuality" from the DSM as a "mental disease or defect."  I also remember in 1960 a family friend being imprisoned for having homosexual sexual relations with a consenting adult.  Indeed, things have changed.  However, as this thread of conversation shows, there is still a lot of hatred and bigotry directed at homosexuals.  I find that very sad.  Gary crum
