Why? What is a holistic answer in this specific case? It is often said that Science is a value-free endeavour. But we should not forget that values affect decisions about the choice of research problems to investigate and the uses to which the results of research are applied. Values play a role in Science. Critical assessment of the values that play a role in scientific research is as much a part of doing good science as interpreting data. Science gives the result of its finding. But morality should guide us. By the fact that the psychologists found that homosexuality was not an "illness", it does not follow that it is normal and morally right to live in homosexual relations and found "gay" families...
