Re: Shocked genitals
One thing I'm pretty sure of is that if you sent a black man off to have electrodes attached to his genitals, shown porn, and given electric shocks in an attempt to "cure" him, he isn't going to turn white.
What makes you think that this torture makes gay people become straight?
What is your argument here?

"You are metaphysicians. You can prove anything by metaphysics; and having done so, every metaphysician can prove every other metaphysician wrong--to his own satisfaction. You are anarchists in the realm of thought. And you are mad cosmos-makers. Each of you dwells in a cosmos of his own making, created out of his own fancies and desires. You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration." -The Iron Heel by Jack London

Re: Don't civil unions do enough for legal purposes?
Wouldn't you think a cure might be welcomed relief for them?
No.
Because I would rather live my life out in the open and die than live my life hidden and afraid and die anyway.
I find it rather insulting (but it's OK I can get over it) that you presume to speak for minorities and how we "must" feel.
What would be a welcome relief is for people like you to just die off and not infect new generations of children with your mental deficiencies. No need for a "cure."
I don't need nor want to be "cured." I do not have a disease.
If there was a "cure" for homosexuality right now I would "choose" to remain a lesbian.
Of course, this "cure" (if it had to do with genetics or hormones) would most likely apply to heterosexuality as well.
What would you choose? Why would the fact that a "choice" appeared make your argument different? Why would it only apply to the "other?"

Re: Should the law marry dead people, too?
As far as I know, "mixed-faith marriages" can conjoin members of opposite sexes and produce babies. And, as far as I know, that is the expressed purpose of marriage: to conjoin members of opposite sexes and produce babies if they want to. Furthermore, as far as I know, marriage was never meant to be sanctioned by the state unless it was between a man and a woman.
As far as you know, was any marriage supposed to be sanctioned by the state?

Over 1000 lightning strikes over the state in one day with no rain on America's first official gay honeymoon weekend,
Really? America's first official gay honeymoon weekend?
I think the citizens of Massachusetts might be surprised to know that they are not a part of America.
nearly twice the strikes in Ca all of 2007 should tell America something about the existence of Jehovah god
That he has abysmally poor aim?
Really Buz, why didn't your god hit San Francisco or even Sacramento (where the CA Supreme Court building is)? Why is it that the fires are in areas which are plagued by wildfires EVERY YEAR?
The fires aren't out yet.
And they'll not be out for the rest of the fire season in CA. And then they'll be back next year, just like they have been there every year.
God has blessed America above all nations. As with Israel, when the
God blessed nation thumbs it's nose at God the blessings go and the catastrophes emerge. Whenever our govt undermines God's messianic nation, Israel and when we do other stupid and rebellious things like govt sanctioned slaughter of babies, promoting deviant lifestyle, etc catastrophe has striken our land.
Natural disasters have been occurring everywhere for all time.
CA has had wildfires and earthquakes, the midwest floodplains have had floods, the coasts have been hit by hurricanes. There are volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, tsunamis, droughts, etc. All have been happening well before the issue of gay marriage and abortion were decided by our government.
Funny thing is, Massachusetts (you know, that other gay marriage state) has had a peaceful few years. I know of no natural catastrophes there since they instituted gay marriage, do you? But then again, they aren't prone to them in the first place...except the occasional nor'easter or the very rare hurricane (usually the remnants of much more powerful storms in the south, tho). It seems, Buz, that your god acts just like nature.
If your god really wanted to impress he could either have bombarded CA with a catastrophic ice storm in the middle of the summer (or something, anything out of the ordinary)...or he could have just had better aim and struck down all of the "deviants" where they stood. Even I, godless, heathen, pervert that I am, would have stood up and taken notice at something like that!
But, he didn't, so it just looks like it is nature going about it's usual business, except now there are more people in the way.
Hmmm...maybe your god doesn't want us to build houses in areas prone to wildfires or floods or major hurricanes?
Nah...it's gotta be the fags getting hitched.
