Abdullahi!:
According to western communities and in medical terms:

"Psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals agree that homosexuality is not an illness, mental disorder or an emotional problem. Over 35 years of objective, well-designed scientific research has shown that homosexuality, in and itself,is not associated with mental disorders or emotional or social problems. Homosexuality was once thought to be a mental illness because mental health professionals and society had biased information. In the past the studies of gay, lesbian and bisexual people involved only those in therapy, thus biasing the resulting conclusions. When researchers examined data about these people who were not in therapy, the idea that homosexuality was a mental illness was quickly found to be untrue.

In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association confirmed the importance of the new, better designed research and removed homosexuality from the official manual that lists mental and emotional disorders. Two years later, the American Psychological Association passed a resolution supporting the removal. For more than 25 years, both associations have urged all mental health professionals to help dispel the stigma of mental illness that some people still associate with homosexual orientation."

Qouted from American Psychological Association http://www.apa.org/topics/orientation.html
Dear Yaxye we all know that punishing people due to diseases isn't part of Islam. Therefore if Islam has punished homosexuals we can certainly be sure that there is no psychological problem with them, and that it is only due to them. Besides that homosexuality is not a newly discovered problem but has been present for centuries since the early tribe of Luut.
Abdullahi!
