Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Issues
Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Issues
The Counseling Center of Ball State University supports the beliefs and policy statements of the American Psychological Association and American Psychiatric Association regarding homosexuality. In 1991, the American Psychological Association (APA) published the following policy statements regarding lesbians, gay men, and bisexual persons:
"At its January 1975 meeting, the Council of Representative (the governing body of the American Psychological Association) adopted a statement of policy regarding homosexuals. . . ., adapted from a statement adopted by the Association of Gay Psychologists Caucus Meeting in. . . September, 1974. Further, Council voted that the Association's Statement of Policy regarding Equal Employment Opportunity be amended to include sexual orientation among the prohibited discriminations listed in the statement. Following is the Policy Statement regarding Discrimination against Homosexuals:
"1. The American Psychological Association supports the action taken on December 15, 1973, by the American Psychiatric Association, removing homosexuality from that Association's official list of mental disorders. The American Psychological Association therefore adopts the following resolution:
Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited - Some people are attracted to women; some are attracted to men -And some, if Sigmund Freud, Dr. Alfred Kinsey and millions of self-described bisexuals are to be believed, are drawn to both sexes.
Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited
William Duke
Some people are attracted to women; some are attracted to men. And some, if Sigmund Freud, Dr. Alfred Kinsey and millions of self-described bisexuals are to be believed, are drawn to both sexes.
But a new study casts doubt on whether true bisexuality exists, at least in men.
The study, by a team of psychologists in Chicago and Toronto, lends support to those who have long been skeptical that bisexuality is a distinct and stable sexual orientation.
People who claim bisexuality, according to these critics, are usually homosexual, but are ambivalent about their homosexuality or simply closeted. "You're either gay, straight or lying," as some gay men have put it.
In the new study, a team of psychologists directly measured genital arousal patterns in response to images of men and women. The psychologists found that men who identified themselves as bisexual were in fact exclusively aroused by either one sex or the other, usually by other men.
