“If preventing gays from “marrying” is so obviously unjust, why didn’t anyone, including leading liberals, think of it until relatively recently?”

Well, first they had to wait until it was “removed” from “The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” as an aberrant paraphilia.

[you know, like pedophilia, necrophilia and zoophilia]

I always wondered, did they give a reason, or did it just poof away (pun intended)? Either they were wrong then or they’re wrong now. Have they said which?

Not that there are standards for what’s a disorder and what’s not. Everyone, or nearly so, wants to have sex occasionally. What makes for nymphomania or satyriasis? I think they say it comes down to whether or not it adversely affects your life. So if gayness suddenly becomes socially acceptable I guess it stops adversely affecting your life, and isn’t a disorder.

What kinda science is this?
