Same-Sex Marriage Banned in California

Blatant ignorance continues in this matter and just because your folks repeated the ignorance to you or some bible thumping hypocrite (like Haggard, who rented out male prostitutes while preaching homophobia), being homosexual is no more a choice than being heterosexual. I refer to the actual experts in this subject and I respect their opinions. Despite the agreement of the health and mental health professions throughoutthe world (including South Africa), on the normality of homosexuality,controversy continues to surround this topic In spite of the fact that mentalhealth professionals throughout the world agree that a homosexual orientationis not a choice, but is an innate characteristic that reveals itself unbidden tothe developing adolescent and adult, many still persist in incorrectly referringto homosexuality as a choice. Among experts in the field of human sexuality.

There are medical and mental health professionals who study this subject. They don't simply repeat the ignorance passed on to them.

As for the rational of the majority's decision, I would point out that is was only 50 years ago that the majority determined that black Americans did not have the right to vote, speak, drink from a whites only fountain, or ride the bus in a front seat. African Americans would not have acheived the right to vote were it up to the majority vote. Were it up to majority voting, there would not have been inter-racial marriage.

The continued homophobic sputter bears an uncanny echo to the United States rational for segregation. There is a saying advising that we all study history because those who do not learn from it are bound to repeat it. The years have changed and the minority is not black, but the argument by some folks, just doesn't change at all.
