No day in court for American citizens....              But it might be a chance for the Republicans to show that gays are       actually on the mentally ill spectrum much the same as AUTISTIC PERSONS       are on a mentally ill spectrum, and rather than being a "gender" the       gays are NOT physically different sexually but they are MENTALLY ILL       HETEROSEXUALS as their DNA shows they are heterosexuals.              Yes when you prevent the gays from performing as drag queens the gays       are the MENTALLY ILL having their rights oppressed and that means that       the gays are NOT having any sexual rights oppressed they're actually       having their rights as MENTALLY HANDICAPPED being oppressed. And the       courts should be forced to view the gays, NOT in sexual terms of their       RIGHTS, but as it pertains to their RIGHTS as mentally ill persons.              The Republican LEGAL DEFENSE GROUPS SHOULD use this case as a way to       force the courts to ask for DNA proof of the Mental illness... of the       performers and at the same time as for the DNA PROOF that they are NOT       heterosexuals.              Then the courts will be forced to admit that gays are actually       heterosexuals who are mentally ill.              There it is all laid out for the Republicans, it tells them how they can        use this gift-horse from the LEFTISTS to end the gay revolution dead       in its tracks. They have no gay rights because they aren't homosexual       they are heterosexuals with a mental illness and that means they have       the RIGHT of the mentally ill NOT the rights of a GENDER. Male/Female       are genders not sexes. So they have no RIGHTS under the Constitution as       gays since gay is a mental illness then the mental illness is the       determining factor and the sexual dysfunction of being gay is simply a       symptom of the mental illness...              --       That's Karma                      *Mama'says*       155 - "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject       to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States". A       person born is NOT becoming a person when born. It's a person who goes       through the process of being born and when being born they have become a       citizen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
