Let’s face the fact that being a homosexual is a disease of the mind. Not unlike a rapist, murderer, child molester, or necrophilia. These are all illnesses of the mind.
So no, I will never accept laws nor people of this kind. To me they are all grouped together. Homos are sic, so if they feel accepted they now want the laws to allow more of their sick behavior. No Sir! No no no. As a father with a son I am———done, fags, sick fu..s!

Despite the real fact that this has been disproven by science already, let's accept your premise and see where you take us.

Not unlike a rapist, murderer,

Neither one of these are mental diseases. Rapists do what they do to express dominance. Murderers do what they do because they believe it's the only way to get a desired outcome. It might be out of anger (heat of the moment, thus, if I understand the term correctly, actually manslaughter), or revenge (generally planned out). However it's not a disease. Murderers generally (unless they're serial killers) don't kill over and over again.

child molester, or necrophilia.

Closer. Both situations have individuals who are sexually attracted to individuals who cannot give consent. Children because they don't have the understanding of what sexual contact actually is, and dead bodies because, well, they're dead.

These are all illnesses of the mind.

As I've pointed out, no, they're not all diseases of the mind. As for homosexuality, again, it's been proven to be genetic, and actually quite normal for sexual animals to have a portion of their population engage in homosexual activity.

The second is your right. No one can force you to like or approve of anyone or thing that you don't already. The first, however, isn't your right. You live in a society, you agree to abide by their laws. If you don't like the law, you can appeal to the legislature to change them, but until that happens, you are required to abide by them. That having been said, I can think of no laws involving homosexuality that require anything of heterosexuals in general. Beyond civil practices (i.e., marriages, employer discrimination, etc.), there is nothing requiring individuals to engage in homosexual behavior, or approve of homosexuality.

To me they are all grouped together.

Incorrectly, as I've pointed out already.

Necrophilia is a type of person now?

These are all illnesses of the mind.

So are autism and clinical depression. But we accept autistic people and depressed people. Whether or not you think homosexuality is a mental disorder is irrelevant (and wrong according to the DSM IV). Do they function in society? Yes. Do they cause any harm to anyone? No. Then there is no reason to treat them the same as a murderer or rapist.

Homos are sic, so if they feel accepted they now want the laws to allow more of their sick behavior

And if it harms nobody what difference does it make? Aside from making you have sour grapes.

Let's face the fact that you are a stupid bigot.

Rapists attack and hurt people.
Murderers attack and kill people.
Child molesters attack and hurt children.
Necrophiliacs attack dead bodies without prior consent.

Homosexuals love and/or are attracted to (adult) people of the same gender. They mostly have relationships with consenting adults. Basically, they harm no-one.
How are they like the four sick types of people above?

Sure, I have no kids of my own, but if one of my nephews or nieces turned out gay, I would accept them for who they are and support them as much as I could. I would perhaps be a little grieved that they will probably meet with bigoted and hateful people who will make their lives harder than they would otherwise be, but that is all.

Homosexuality was removed from the DSM catalogue of mental illness about forty years ago. Both the American Psychological Association and the British Psychological Society agree that homosexuality is a normal, natural variation in the human condition and that it is almost certainly genetic (although we have yet to find the specific gene, we have found a biological basis).

Murder can come from all kinds of reasons. Rape is a crime that has six different psychological models which I don't have space to illuminate here. Both paedophilia and necrophilia are paraphilias. That is, they are the closest to actual mental illnesses but even the paraphilias are not (usually) indicative of a true mental illness. More often, they're indicative of a serious emotional disturbance.
