What really bothers mean is these country clerks that let their people cite religious reasons for not issuing same sex marriage licenses.

If the state has legalized same sex marriages or it has been legalized then no matter what the clerks should have to do their jobs and issue the license. Their religious beliefs should never come into play since they are not working for themselves.

The same holds true for any employee. Their beliefs do not come into play while working. If their employer has no issue with with same sex marriages then while they are working they have no issue with it as well.

If people do not want to do their job because of their religious beliefs then they should no longer have that job.

Basically it's the straight homophobes that talk funny because they forcibly dissuade themselves from adopting speech or vocal patterns utilized by half the population

It is referred to as gay gene(s) because there could be more than one and genes regulate everything.  From the polyploidy trait of eye color, whether or not you will be a thrill seeker or to skin color.  There are in fact splice variants for skin color.  The POMC [[url=http://omim.org/entry/176830]http://omim.org/entry/176830] (MSHR, α-MSH, β-MSH, γ-MSH gene interacts with the melanocortin gene superfamily (MC1R [[url=http://omim.org/entry/155555?search=MC1R&highlight=mc1r]http://omim.org/entry/155555?search=MC1R&highlight=mc1r] (See 4 allelic variants), MC2R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) via a gene-protein-protein-gene regulatory network.  Why shouldn't there be a genes which regulate whether you are gay, straight, or bisexual.  There is an interesting book by the Oxford University Press, I have a copy in pdf if you wish to read it.

@Bisougarou:

I don't really agree with this interpretion of Sexual Orientation OCD. (HOCD is pejorative to begin with…)

You're not the only one

According to IMDB this movie is still in development

Pity, I'd like to see it 🙂

It is not an insinuated threat, it is a simple fact.  Currently, older people who have shunned technology have paid for it because they may have been passed over for promotions and the like.  Society will move forward with or without you.  The world stops for no man.  It is not that technology is inherently good or bad, unless you make it so.  If you choose to shun technology, then that is your prerogative.  That does not mean other will choose to do the same.  People used to think that in vitro fertilization is playing God, now it is common place.  Why do you think some adults are taking these "remedial" computer classes such as how to use Excel and Word?  It is not because they really want to.  It is because they need to do so in order to survive in the workplace.  I reiterate, those who do not embrace it, will be left behind by it because it is an ever increasing part of society.

Good work! Prevention is better than cure!

Prevention of what exactly? The abstract seems to suggest a correlation between neuroticism and sexual dysfunction - it doesn't talk about prevention or cure.

Never mind Christmas… they need to put Christ back into Christians!

so sad  :cry2:

“I have become increasingly alarmed at the uneven pitch upon which rights and equality issues are played out. More and more the balance is tipped against people of faith." That's my favorite phrase or how, in a few words, you can turn your speech into shit… Poor judgemental people of faith. We need to stop being proud of what we are! I mean come on! Those people who are scared, who offer free hate and a lot of annoying and medievals common bullshit obviously need protection and support...

One of my teacher once wondered why a country shouldn't be too close from the Church... I guess this article answer his question.

And where was that damn conscience clause when some priests thought they could abuse of children while saying that sodomite should burn in hell?!

Poor Ireland... Becoming a soon to be Russia. Saddening.  :cry2:

After refusing to change the lifetime ban in November 2014, they changed their minds on 23 Dec 2014.

Starting in 2015 (exact date unsure), gays can give blood if they have not had sex with another man for 1 year.

I had no idea how awful the situation in Guyana is. Life imprisonment? That's terrible. I hope people in these countries avoid being caught.
