The issue of mental health is prevalant when people argue about gun control. We don't have a problem with guns in this country we have a problem with mental illness. I like Rose's compassion. The DSMIV or whatever used to call homosexuality a mental illness. As long as the behaviour is not injurous (and this word is ambiguous) I don't think the person needs to necessarily be called ill. I see the word ill as the negation of healthy what is a mentally healthy person?
