Same sex marriage is lawful since now and such couples can also adopt children according to this law. Very dark black gloomy day for Finland indeed... (From Facebook post I've encountered)
The 3rd of March, 2017 is a sad day for Finland...

what a tragedy, homosexuality is a disorder, Marriage is a Christian sacrament, not a legal construct. Perversion is considered natural, while The Christian faith is considered wrong , and "outdated" for the modern Western modernist, materialist, decadent, hedonist society. At least there still societies in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and parts of Africa who still uphold Christian belief in sacramental Marriage, and see the danger of Homosexuality, which is probably even worse than Communism, and Fascism combined.

No, it isn't. The only way to classify it as a disorder is to drastically change the definition of the word disorder.

It was a disorder, and a mental illness until the social unrest of the 1960's caused the psychiatric industry to no longer classify the Sin of Sodomy as a mental illness. Homosexuality by, and large is worse than even Communism or Facism, since it attacks the Family Unit, and distorts the sacrament of Marriage.

Homosexuality was removed from the DSM in 1974 for the simple reason that no one could provide any evidence that it was a pathology.

congrats Finland, let see if it even exists in 100 year, or will it be a immigrant emirate. The Muslim's will produce more babies than a bunch of rainbow flag marching, alternative lifestyle LGBT folks.

It was going on. Liberals were working to take over all of academia.
Here are the facts on how it was removed.

I asked if what you were going on about was some of those "alternative facts".
You responded with a link that is subtitled: "An alternative perspective on psychiatry's so-called mental disorders" Hilarious.
Sadly that was about the only thing funny here, what followed was a large collection of less than true claims by the author.
Examples:
"Freud had alluded to homosexuality numerous times in his writings, and had concluded that paranoia and homosexuality were inseparable."
This is of course false. The claim originates in an article written by Freud "Certain Neurotic Mechanisms in Jealousy, Paranoia, and Homosexuality." published in 1922. It is an article about his work with a single individual. Freud himself notes that one can't draw conclusions because it is just about one person. Freud also notes that his use of the word paranoia was in reference to his patients personality type characterized by "social isolation, suspiciousness, hypersensitivity and guardedness" not in regards to a psychological symptom all to easily associated with mental illness.
Freud speaks directly about homosexuality and his views on it in a letter written in 1935. The letter addressed the concerns of a woman who thought her son was gay. He describes homosexuality as "nothing to be ashamed of” and that it “cannot be classified as an illness”
Example: "What’s noteworthy about this is that the removal of homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses What’s noteworthy about this is that the removal of homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses was not triggered by some scientific breakthrough. There was no new fact or set of facts that stimulated this major change." Again this is not true. First in needs ot be noted that homosexuality was not classified as a mental illness until 1968. the response and protests were immediate and based on the fact that it's inclusion in the DSM was not triggered by some scientific breakthrough and there was no new fact or set of facts that stimulated this classification. There was however a growing body of research from the last 20 years all of which showed that homosexuality was not a pathology.
Example: "And the APA reacted with truly astonishing speed."
Six years is astonishing speed?
I could go on but I have my own mental health to look after.
