If this is what Mayor Janice Daniels of Troy, Michigan—recently in hot water for posting anti-gay slurs to Facebook—considers damage control, well, the bigot isn't bright:

Michigan Mayor Janice Daniels—famous for writing on Facebook an anti-gay slur in response to news New York had passed a marriage equality law—is again under fire for telling students yesterday from the Troy High School gay-straight alliance (GSA) who had invited her to an anti-bullying forum design to stem the tide of suicide, that she wanted to bring a team of psychologists with her to testify that homosexuality is a mental disease.

No mental health group or professional organization considers "homosexuality... a mental disease."
