From an AP article:
http://www.heraldsun.com/nationworld/14-745619.html
"WASHINGTON -- A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position."

In the Department of Defense Instruction 1332.38 "Physical Disability Evaluation," homosexuality is listed under "DEVELOPMENT DEFECTS AND OTHER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS." Other things falling into the catagory "Certain Mental Disorders":

Uncomplicated Alcoholism or other Substance Use Disorder
Personality Disorders
Mental Retardation
Adjustment Disorders
Impulse Control Disorders
Homosexuality
Sexual Gender and Identity Disorders, including Sexual Dysfunctions and Paraphilias
Factitious Disorder

That seems... not quite right to me...
