2007, Meet 1973

The WashPo reports:

Montgomery County sex education teachers would be allowed to tell students who ask that homosexuality is not a mental illness under a last-minute change to new lessons that go to the school board today for a politically charged vote.


Let's see: in 1973 the American Psychological Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. In 2007 the Montgomery County (MD) vote on whether they can tell students that fact. And it's controversial.

Perhaps the only mental disorder here is the way misguided adults approach sex in this country.

UPDATE: The changes passed. Good for Monty County.
