National Review Online: The Senator's Response To Calif. Supreme Court Decision Is Telling

[huangagain]

What Mr. Lowry fails to mention in his article is that legalization of gay marriage was passed (through a democratic process) in both the house and senate in California and that one man, the governor, decided for the state by vetoing it not once, but twice. Hence the court overruled the one man who stood in the way of what the majority wanted...gay marriage. Regardless of that fact, the court is in place specifically to NOT let the majority walk all over the minority. It''s not activism, it''s doing the job it was intended to do.

Until recently, the hepatitis-C virus has been mainly transmitted via sharing needles for intravenous drug use and blood or plasma transfusions. (24) However, male homosexuals have started to make a significant contribution to the spread of the hepatitis-C virus via risky sexual behaviours.
During the 1990s, syphilis levels were fairly low, but by 1996 68% of syphilis patients were MSM, among whom 66% were also HIV-positive.
It hardly needs mentioning who gets rectal gonorrhoea. Homosexuals also get gonorrhoea in the *** (urethral gonorrhoea) and mouth (pharyngeal gonorrhoea).
During the period 1994-1999, in Denmark, the incidence of gonorrhoea among MSM was 30 times that among heterosexual men. Parasitic intestinal infections are common among homosexuals; they result from the consumption of faecal material via rimming and other sexual practices (see here). Rimming is a practice where they use the tongue around the ***.
A 2003 U.S. report mentioned the emergence of a multi-drug-resistant bacterial skin infection among homosexual men .

It appears that there is an increasing number of new viruses and diseases appearing. .. There is a pattern here that we ignore at our peril, Throughout history, the major civilizations condemned homosexuality, and it would appear that it is not just religion which is the reason for condemning homosexuality but the life of the law being logic and centuries of experience...


Infectious Diseases are a plight of homosexuals.
At least 8 new sexually transmitted germs were identified between 1980 and 1997. Dr. Max Essex, chair of the Harvard AIDS Institute, warned Congress in 1992 that "AIDS has already led to other kinds of dangerous epidemics. .
The typical sexual practices of homosexuals are a medical horror story - imagine exchanging saliva, feces, *** and/or blood with dozens of different men each year. Imagine drinking urine, ingesting feces and experiencing rectal trauma on a regular basis.
In the mid-20th century, male homosexuals constituted about 8% of men afflicted with anal cancer; by the mid-1980s, this figure had risen to 72%.
During 1982-1989, MSM constituted less than 10% of individuals with hepatitis-A. But between Nov 1998 and May 1999, 66% of the men had hepatitis-A in Columbus, Ohio, in New York City, 50% in San Francisco, 56% etc, but in San Francisco, 4.6% had hepatitis-C and 81% had hepatitis-B infection. (7) Hepatitis-B appears to be transmitted 8.6-fold more efficiently than HIV-1 among homosexual men, according to a study

I thik the opinion on marriage differs from person to person. For most women that piece of paper means security, while fro most men it is just a piece of paper he signs to make the woman happy. If you ask a man i think most will tell you when they give their word to someone that means more to them tha a piece of paper.
