If you "knew" what a mental disease was, you'd also know that in 1986, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association, entirely removed the diagnosis of homosexuality as a "mental disease" from the DSM.

So no, homosexuality is NOT a mental disease.

On the other hand, clearly, anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them to resolve his or her internal conflicts meets criteria for a delusional disorder, a major psychiatric illness.

Obviously a large majority in both Oklahoma and Utah and California didn't want it...Their beliefs weren't upheld...personally I think its great that people get shown that democracy is only for those with political connections or who have emotion on their side and also the elitists puppets in their pockets to put pressure on judges to rule their way.The more people eager to use a different box to fight back the better IMO.
If you re-read my post carefully, you will understand what you seem as of yet...not to.

So what exactly is your "more direct approach" for dealing with The Gay Problem? I'm sure we'd all like to know.

Rights are what societies say they are. If, tomorrow, a law is passed in favour of public nudity, then I have the right to walk around in the buff. Today, I have no such right. Rights are what we say they are. Sorry if the private lives of total strangers upsets you, but I've never believed normal people should be inconvenienced in any way for the sake of the feelings of right-wingers such as yourself.

Idiots in power passing that wouldn't shock me 1 bit. They are WAY past allowing degeneracy to rule the day so why not...Oh and "rights" are what a loud minority bitching and moaning with political and monetary power backing them...if no one gave them a soap box to stand on and scream about crap or the money to get their way then they would disappear from view...recognizing something just gives it legitimacy....we need a strong brutal leader to crack down on crap like this.

So long as you understand that you're wrong. How you feel about it is, as I said, unimportant.

What would such a crackdown look like? And how "brutal" would the leader have to be, in your opinion?
