Homosexuality used to be categorized as psychological disorder. But now, homosexuality is no longer categorized as psychological disorder. It's just a matter of sexual preferences and it is not a disorder.
Homosexuality is not considered a psychological disorder or mental illness. Sexual orientation, including being gay, lesbian, or bisexual, is considered a natural variation of human sexuality and is not considered pathological by mainstream psychology and psychiatry.
Not from being gay. You are born with your sexual orientation. There are no psychological problems associated with being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.
That's not to say that just because someone is gay or lesbian that they do not have psychological problems. However, their sexual orientation is not a component of that psychological problem.
No, sexual orientation has nothing to do with mental illness.
Some do and some don't, just like straight people. But if you are asking if being gay causes psychological problems, it doesn't.

Homosexuality used to be considered a psychological disorder but that has not been true since the publication of the 3rd Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in the 1980s. The American Psychological Association considers any attempt to "treat" (i.e., get rid of) homosexuality to be unethical. An exception is when the homosexuality is a source of considerable distress or anxiety for the patient/client, but in such a case, it is the anxiety that is treated, not the sexual orientation.
No. Although marriage may be entered into by people with psychological disorders marriage in and of itself is not a psychological disorder. Marriage is a civil legal status in the United States.Along the same lines, and perhaps also addressing the intent of the question, the American Psychiatric Association has taken the position that homosexuality is not a psychological disorder.

Because it is not. Homosexuality is not a disorder in every way, shape or form. The person in question is still able to function and behave like any other human being, the only difference being that they are attracted to the same sex.
