Please tell us who some of these experts are. I'm totally willing to keep my mind open, as long as it's clear that their opinions are not driven by their religious beliefs.
Well let's start off by saying that religion has nothing to do with my standpoint nor does it affect my feelings on this subject.
You never answered my question, do you believe that there are homosexuals because of a mental illness?
I believe that there is a lot of clinical evidence that suggests that homosexuality is a mental disorder. That doesn't in any way mean mental retardation which is of course what a lot of people will instantly thing. Millions of people live normal lives with mental disorders like nervous ticks, stuttering, etc etc. We shouldn't condemn anyone with a mental disorder, there's nothing wrong with them.
It is not a federal question. The right of a person to be married exists only as provided under state (not federal) law. Each state has the sovereign power to enact laws governing marriage; and provided that such laws do not infringe upon a citizen’s rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, they are valid and enforceable. See Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967).
Do not laws that expressly deny the rights of marriage to homosexual couples violate the 14th Amendment?
