*sigh*, well you'll notice that they don't list being gay as a sexual perversion. That's because there's been a lot of science that shows a distinct genetic component to it, hence natural. You also see homosexuality in other species besides humans, therefore natural, but I doubt you see a lot of interspecies sex anywhere.
Besides the point, that the cause of perversion usually comes from arrested sexual development to the point of fixation on a particular subject or object, or a traumatic event. These are directly out of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) the handbook for psychologists. If you have issues with their wording, take it up with them. You can't lump the disorders you listed with the science of sexual attraction that Thor was talking about because it's a false equivalency. One is the product of evolution and the other is a product of an individual's maldevelopment.
If you're going to debate this further, try not to use hyperbole to back up your arguments. It makes it seem like you don't have anything other than rage to add to the conversation.
