Really?
Do not murder. Do not steal. Don't sleep with your neighbor's husband/wife. Don't murder. Respect your parents. Respect your elders. Do not charge interest to your fellow citizen. Give to the poor and needy. Support orphans. Support widows. Take care of the Earth and it's inhabitants. Drink wine and eat BBQ. Take a day off every seven days. Take a year off every seven years. All debts are cancelled every seven years. Don't have intercourse with your family members. Don't have intercourse with animals.

So then,what happens when scientists discover that Homosexuality is a genetic trait?And that you can "turn" it off?

The DSM in psychology, listed the act of homosexuality as a mental illness. Now what amazes me the most, is the fact that the removal of this diagnosis had more to do with academia & political correctness, then anything learned by those that studied the mind.
Think about that, the court of public opinion changed a mental disease.
Let's try that out with other illness' shall we? Just "believe" that it isn't real. doesn't affect you in any way, and don't bother going to see a doctor. Let's see how that works out.
Now some can straw man back and say "Well we no longer lobotomize slow/mentally deficient ppl either", and while that's true. (obviously & thank god) we also know more how the mend works. But this decision isn't based upon a better understanding of the mind, but public opinion.

That is wonderful news. It's about time. Now, we just need to push for legalizing gay marriage in every state. There is really no reason to not allow it.
Thank God each state has the right to make their own laws. You cannot force this through on a federal level to all states, that's unconstitutional. Currently only 12 states allow gay marriage - a huge minority. I don't feel like giving any more minorities special rights they do not deserve. It's gonna be a cold day in Hell thank God when all states get around to applying this - and we will all be dead by then. Yeah.. I'm laughing. Just think of the extra money the state has to put out as well as the IRS to make this happen and I'll tell you.. it's something I don't want my tax dollars going to.

So people think asking someone else's permission to marry is a 'victory' ?
Interesting oh and Maybe Clinton should never signed it in to law.

Hmmm.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act “a great, historic day for equality in America.”
He went on: “The idea that allowing two loving, committed people to marry would have a negative impact on anyone else, or on our nation as a whole, has always struck me as absurd.”
Pretty strong words from a guy who voted for the Defense of Marriage Act.
Dems voted for DOMA, cheered its end
