It is not the the mere mention of homosexuality that stirs the pot here. It gets stirred when someone makes a discriminatory remark about homosexuals. I am not sure why you do not understand this, but it offends a lot of people when you or someone else makes a bigoted comment about homosexuals. It is prejudice, just like racism and sexism are prejudice. It is hard for me to understand coming from you, because you seem in most of your expressions to be intelligent, well educated and gentlemanly, even. I think you would fare better trying to make points if you didn't use homosexuals as examples. And while my introduction to the American Psychiatric Assn.'s article used the word "seem", because it was just a gentle introduction to the more factual article, the body of text itself was quite concrete. Perhaps you do not understand what constitutes a mental disorder, then? I cannot find any other reason you would dispute their findings.
