That's damn awesome. 'Bout time another state comes to allow gay marriage. To deny people the right to live with who they love is just wrong, regardless of their sexual preference.
Good on California. Suck it haters!

To answer another point, im not being ironic, it's proven mental disorder.
You can't argue fact.
The word hasn't changed in meaning. Marriage is still an act of bondage between lovers and is still used as a means of sharing wealth and land and other proxies. You still don't have to go to a church to get married. And marriage still isn't an exclusively religious act. So by that... it's not an oxymoron.MrFluffy-X said:
Homosexuality was considered a mental disease by the American Psychiatric Association (or a group like that) at some point, but they have since reversed their stance on it. I don't think he was being ironic, but I think he was referring to that.Furious Styles said:
Mmmhmm. Tell me how trying to cure love, or trying to force people to find a certain gender attractive works, kay?lordbuxton said:
As for your "proven mental disorder" statement, I'd like to see this proof. Homosexuality was removed from the mental disability section of the Psychiatric Standards of Care a loooong time ago.
I'm glad, but until all appeals, stays, and the now almost inevitable progression to the Supreme Court of the United States are resolved (please allow 4-6 years for delivery...), I don't know that the decision will make a huge difference in actual rights.
For those who are unclear, Proposition 8 appears to have been declared unconstitutional under Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment ("...No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.") ...Which seems fairly pat to me, unless you buy into the joys of "But gay people have every right to marry people of the opposite sex, too!", which seems to me rather like suggesting that people who are deathly allergic to nuts shouldn't feel excluded or singled out just because every item in the buffet is cooked in peanut oil.

The issue is not what's important, what matters is that a single judge can overrule the majority with one swing of the gavel.ReincarnatedFTP said:
If those stupid, misguided, close-minded, bigoted idiots want themselves a gay-marriage ban, then they should have it without worrying that ONE judge with contrary opinion is their equal in terms of the law.
To add on to my other point.
You are born gay, it's not a choice. The makeup of the brain determines sexuality and seen as the human body is designed to survie and reproduce as Darwin says, then it's a disorder that impairs the bodies goals and thus it's as much as a disability as been blind.

Looking at the posters history... He joined today and most of his comments are all anti-gay comments linking it to a mental illness... I'm saying either ill informed or a troll. I'd just report and move on. I doubt this fellow is going to be up for reasoning... Though I've been wrong before.SuperMse said:
That's actually a much better arguement... I disagree... But it's an improvement on your earlier comments.lordbuxton said:
Oh so you're a believer in direct democracy who would support executing people who happened to be born with green eyes if the people supported the measure.MoeTheMonk said:
We're just gonna have to disagree.
America is a democratic-republic, not a direct democracy.
But being a complete and utter asshole is also an impairs your chances of mating....lordbuxton said:
Are you disabled, therefore?
edit:- also, you're more or less admitting that its incurable. i mean, who can cure genetics?
Not all my comments, broken no rules any way.Sovvolf said:
