The professor who led the newest health-related research, Dr. Hui Liu of Michigan State University, chalked up the discrepancy to the fact that homosexuals cannot marry, as well as the burden of stress and discrimination.

It doesn't matter what the law is, they will never be able to marry. Unless they choose to marry a person of the opposite sex, a right and ability everyone has.

When I was in graduate school, in the 90s, someone wrote a letter to the editor of the school newspaper arguing for the right to "marry" her lesbian girlfriend. Her argument was based on the fact that her family didn't consider her normal, and if she could "marry" her girlfriend, then her family would realize that she is just as normal as everyone else. The fact that she didn't mention love or a desire to spend her life with this other person was extremely telling.

True, one cannot judge anything from a single example. But I wonder how much of the push for gay "marriage" is really based on love and commitment?

I’d say none. It’s all based upon hatred of Christ and a desire to punish members of His church.

Truly self-confident folks who know what they’re doing is right don’t feel the need to legally punish those who disagree with them.

Some probably is, but the silly thing is that normal marriage is weakest on love and commitment: consider the no-fault divorce laws making a joke of it.
