Boutique Psychiatry?

Some psychiatrists/psychologists now want to create an official diagnosis of extreme homophobia as an official diagnosis.

Instapundit:

So when homosexuality was unpopular, it was a mental disorder. Now that it's popular, not liking it is a mental disorder. Evidence for either position? Not much. My diagnosis: How about we recognize a disorder consisting of turning intellectual fashions into pseudoscience? Seems like this is a case of "mental health" consisting largely of agreeing with whatever political opinions psychiatrists hold at a particular moment in time. Psychiatry, heal thyself.

Dr. Sanity:

Can "Republicanism" be far behind as a new diagnosis . . .?

One of my pet peeves is people using "Orwellian" to describe changes in law or technology they don't like, but this kind of revising manuals to make certain thinking abnormal or diseased really is the sort of thing Big Brother's regime might have done. "War is peace." "The mainstream is radical."

We already have descriptions that apply to the case of a man who thinks that society is filled with gays who are out to get him. Does the new DSM include believing in God and praying, too?

A group of atheists is suing Utah to force it to remove some cross-shaped markers around the state to commemorate the places where highway patrol troopers were killed.
These were placed by a private organization. I don't know whether they are all within the state's right-of-way or not. Maybe Dr. Newdow will want to add religion as to DSM-V also.
