Until 1973, the Americans psychiatric association and the Americans psychological association listed homosexuality as mental illness
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Second Edition (DSM-II), published by the American Psychological Association, included homosexuality as a mental illness with diagnostic criteria. They substituted "sexual orientation disturbance" for homosexuality in 1973, replacing it.
Additionally, the current DSM-IV still retains "Sexual Condition Not Otherwise Specified" while not including homosexuality as a mental disorder.
The belief that homosexuality is a "natural human sexual response" is a topic that homosexual activists bring up frequently. Specifically, psychiatrists and psychologists. They discuss how homosexuality was formally removed off the list of "mental disorders" by the American Psychological Association in 1973 and how the American Psychiatric Association similarly categorizes homosexuality as normal in support of this claim.
