Amen ... Grimmjow, it is a bunch of crap. But laws are passed by those who hold the most power. The so called moral majority has worked very hard to elect politicians that espouse their viewpoints. It will take the diligence of all of us to keep them from sweeping us back to the nineteenth...
That's true, but constitutions can be altered and changes can be ratified. Our President wants such a change to forbid gay marriage. Supporters will say it has nothing to do with religion that it is a family values thing. :rolleyes:
"Curing real infections by this or any other technique, however, would require mastering one of HIV's sneakiest tricksits ability to hide from the immune system by laying dormant for months or years in host cells."

The people complaining about the "homosexual agenda" (whatever that is) of today are the offspring of those who reacted violently to Martin Luther King and his marches for equality. Thanks to that great man and his followers, blacks are being integrated into mainstream society and racial...

If the act is consensual it isn't defined as rape. It is however illegal sex with a minor and still abhorrent. What should matter is that people should acquaint themselves with all the facts before making judgments. Here we have a minor that appears to be of age and says she is of age and makes...
Actually you should be more concerned about the bible's admonishments about straight sex. I think too many Christians get on the 'gay bashing' wagon to hide their adultery, fornication, lascivious thoughts etc. Here is an interesting article about what the bible would look like if all reference...
