The DSM-I and DSM-II classified homosexuality as personality disorders under abnormal sexual deviations.<ref name='dsm-i sexuality'>{{Citation|title=Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - Mental Disorders|section=II|chapter=B.

This diagnosis is reserved for deviant sexuality which is not symptomatic of more extensive syndromes, such as schizophrenic and obsessional reactions. The term includes most of the cases formerly classed as "psychopathic personality with pathologic sexuality." The diagnosis will specify the type of the pathologic behavior, such as homosexuality, transvestism, pedophilia, fetishism and sexual sadism (including rape, sexual assault, mutilation).}}</ref><ref name='dsm-ii sexuality'>{{Citation|title=DSM-II Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Second Edition)|year=1968|section=Personality Disorders and Certain Other Non-psychotic Mental Disorders|page=44|quote='''302 Sexual deviations'''
This category is for individuals whose sexual interests are directed primarily toward objects other than people of the opposite sex, toward sexual acts not usually associated with coitus, or toward coitus performed under bizarre circumstances as in necrophilia, pedophilia, sexual sadism, and fetishism. Even though many find their practices distasteful, they remain unable to substitute normal sexual behavior for them. This diagnosis is not appropriate for individuals who perform deviant sexual acts because normal sexual objects are not available to them.
