Every State where the voters have decided, the gay agenda has been shut down. And just like we here in Hawaii are doing, WE WILL HAVE THE LAST SAY.
Count on the decent folks of Iowa to do the same. In case you haven't noticed yet, there's a tempest brewing in Iowa over this actvist court ruling.

You posted the above in April. It's November now (or will be in 2 hours), and I haven't seen any tempests. What could have happened?

Common gay diseases listed below.
Anal Cancer
Chlamydia trachomatis
Cryptosporidium
Giardia lamblia
Herpes simplex virus
Human immunodeficiency virus - AIDS !
Human papilloma virus
Isospora belli
Microsporidia
Gonorrhea
Viral hepatitis types B & C
Syphilis

All of the diseases that you have listed above are contracted by the heterosexual population as well. In much greater numbers, too. There is NO SUCH THING as a "gay" disease. Even if there were, that would not be a reason to prevent gay people from marrying, or to prevent the government from recognizing those marriages. And in the case of communicable and/or infectuous diseases, wouldn't it make more sense to encourage gay people to enter into monogamous committed relationships? People who remain faithful to each other do not spread stds in the general population.

You're here parading them aren't you? Hardly private, hardly keeping it to yourself.

Religion IS a lifestyle. Homosexuality is an orientation, just as heterosexuality is.
This is a forum that relates to GLBT issues, so of COURSE we're discussing homosexuality. If YOU object to it, remove yourself from this forum. No one is forcing you to be here, no one is forcing you into homosexuality; it is YOU who are trying to force YOUR lifestyle onto us.
