    Exodus itself is a group that tries to turn gay people straight through therapy and the app, I suppose is just a quick reference that those poor fools who willingly subject themselves to that can use look up their erroneous research and bible versus.

    They wield the most power by a large margin. Jews would likely be the next group, but they don't seem terribly outspoken about this stuff. I dunno if that's specific to religion, the views of the Jewish congresspeople, the group as a whole being too small or a combination of everything.

    I'm sure if Muslims held similar numbers as Christians, they'd pound the drum just as hard. But Keith Ellison, who's not even a fundie, can't say a word without people dogpiling on him. So it's going to be a Christian "thing" as far as the LGBT fight in the US is going to play out.

    The 9th Circuit Court has denied the motion to resume gay marriages in California.

    What an ass. There's no reason to keep people from marrying just because it's been appealed. Also, one of us should probably make a new thread.

    On a funny note, I've never bothered to search Santorum name before. I knew the definition and who was, but never bothered to see the effects of the google bomb.

    Searches related to Santorum

    miserable failure

    There's sort of a reason, I guess. I didn't read the 9th Circuit's reasoning, but if Walker is overturned then CA will still have the 18,000 (i think) gay couples who got married while it was legal and can't get remarried if they divorce. If they let gay marriages go forward during appeal, and then Prop 8 got upheld, the people married during that period would either join the 18,000 or they'd be on even more questionable legal ground. Doesn't really surprise me that they wouldn't want to have these weird marriage categories floating around.

    Jews, by and large, don't give a shit. Except for the Orthodox, which are pretty much fundamentalists, so no surprise there.

    Actually keeping a law on the books while its pending appeal is pretty standard.

    and the Orthodox, as a minority of a minority, have very little power in the US.

    Part of the reason Jews are so tolerant is that their religion is set up in such a way where they really don't give a damn what non members of the faith do.
