I will give you the history.. You decide.
In 1968 the DSM-II listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. Then in 1973 it was removed as a mental disorder, but replaced it with "sexual orientation disturbance." Finally in 1987 it was removed altogether from the DSM.
The WHO removed homosexuality from ICD-10 in 1992, although ICD-10 still carries the construct of "ego-dystonic sexual orientation."
Currently the standard in the U.S. and Europe is gay affirmative psychotherapy, which encourages gay people to accept their sexual orientation.
Note : When it was removed from the DSM there was a vote taken in the US by the APA (The American Psychiatric Association). It was approximately 6000 to remove it against 4000 to retain it.
