why use the word lunatic in reference to being mentally ill? His ex wife saying this also does not make it fact.
-
because he is a lunatic.

How can you not understand that it's just not acceptable to use the words "lunatic" and "mad" to describe the mentally ill?

Marc Lépine was mentally ill. To me it's more relevant that he ordered all the men out of the room before opening fire.

well, yes, homophobia is a mental illness. Hence the phobia.
-
it's bigotry & hatred. not a mental illness. Or can you point me in direction of diagnosis criteria & NICE guideline treatment?

irrational phobias and fears are usually treated with CBT.
