If you didn’t catch this when it was breaking news (obviously I didn’t – it was posted on 2/10/05), there seems to have been a little mistake (describing homosexuality as a mental disorder) on a Canadian government website for possibly many years.

VANCOUVER – The B.C. Ministry of Health is correcting a government website that describes homosexuality as a mental disorder, next to bestiality and pedophilia.

Until Thursday, the description was there on the Medical Services Plan website in a section that provides diagnostic codes for doctors to use when filing for reimbursement from the provincial government. The site is accessible to the general public as well as doctors.

A Health Ministry spokesperson promised immediate removal of the code back in February. None of the Canadian Health Ministry sites I found are responding. Does anyone know the website mentioned, or have updated news on this?
