Likewise, homophilia is a form of narcissism. I've heard it said that homosexuals are narcissists because only their gender (ultimately themselves) could be worthy of intimacy and love. The opposite gender is just too "not them" and so they became homosexuals. BECAME. This explains a lot, especially I've noticed how some gay couples look nearly identical, wearing the same haircuts, the same body build and clothing styles.
That's just one theory of how they get started. Childhood molestation wounds likely explains the rest. Either way the behavior is acquired and is a sign of mental illness.
homophilia is a form of narcissism??Now try to learn something please instead of wasting time posting horseshit......
Since the 1970s, the consensus of the behavioral and social sciences and the health and mental health professions globally is that homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexual orientation, while there remain those who maintain that it is a disorder.[2] In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. The American Psychological Association Council of Representatives followed in 1975.[3] Thereafter other major mental health organizations followed and it was finally declassified by the World Health Organization in 1990. Consequently, while some still believe homosexuality is a mental disorder, the current research and clinical literature demonstrate that same-sex sexual and romantic attractions, feelings, and behaviors are normal and positive variations of human sexuality, reflecting the official positions of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association.”
Rather that the classification being changed in 1973 for political purposes, the fact is that homosexuality was initially declared a mental illness for…….political, and religious reasons.

And there is this:
Hooker's (1957) study was innovative in several important respects. First, rather than simply accepting the predominant view of homosexuality as pathology, she posed the question of whether homosexuals and heterosexuals differed in their psychological adjustment. Second, rather than studying psychiatric patients, she recruited a sample of homosexual men who were functioning normally in society. Third, she employed a procedure that asked experts to rate the adjustment of men without prior knowledge of their sexual orientation. This method addressed an important source of bias that had vitiated so many previous studies of homosexuality.
Hooker concluded from her data that homosexuality is not a clinical entity and that homosexuality is not inherently associated with psychopathology.
Hooker's findings have since been replicated by many other investigators using a variety of research methods. Freedman (1971), for example, used Hooker's basic design to study lesbian and heterosexual women. Instead of projective tests, he administered objectively-scored personality tests to the women. His conclusions were similar to those of Hooker

Homosexuality stopped being a pathology because gay people weren’t exhibiting other “traditional” signs of mental illness. They could function as well as straight people in various test situations. That showed that they could function in society just as normally as straight people. The weight of evidence against homosexuality being a pathology is what led psychiatrists to alter their views of it. This ultimately led to its removal.
