I've heard it used to be considered a disorder? Is that true?

Yes, it was considered a disorder. Please bnear in mind that many psychiatrists STILL think it is a disorder, it was removed from the list of disorders kept by the APA in the 70's. But many doctors still consider it a disorder and feel that the APA was wrong to remove it as a result of political pressure by gay activists, ( Including attending meetings and disrupting them until the APA agreed to remove it from their listings of disorders)

Yup, it was in the DSM until the mid-1970s.

decades ago before people were enlightened enough to accept it as a normal human condition.
