Terms aren't objective scientific definitions, they're subjective social constructs that refer to the most dominant understanding of a state of being in a given environment. For me and for those I socialise with, being homosexual is considered a mental illness. You shouldn't act like definitions are represented by your(plural) interpretation.
"A mental disorder, also called a mental illness, psychological disorder or psychiatric disorder, is mental or behavioral pattern that causes either suffering or a poor ability to function in ordinary life." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder
Since homosexuality doesn't match this definition, it's not considered a mental disorder. I couldn't care less what you and your homophobic friends think about it; I'm glad that facts aren't influenced by any opinion.
