Probably.

Ok I'm not familiar with that part. Must be OT. I was drunk a lot then.

Leviticus 21. The same goes for cripples btw - so I guess Vietnam and Iraq vets are also barred from Church.
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease.
It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

The thing is ... have they not noticed that many other countries have had legal same-sex marriage for years now? And that Canada is not yet a blighted hellscape? It's right there, it's not hard to see the absence of colossal, earth-rending hellworm phalluses (helluses) plunging and penetrating the fire-scarred soil of America's rider. Do these people really think that America is so special, so particularly holy that their god cares more about American legislation than that of other nations? That America is held to higher standards than the rest of us?

This has been the New American Exceptionalism for a while now, America can't do shit other countries have been doing for years. It's kind of weird.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

American exceptionalism taken to it's extreme, so yes some do.

I remember reading similar stuff about Ireland during the referendum. It's like there's a big overlap between nationalism and homophobia...

Before this ruling a a majority of states already legalized ssm. More then that it would not get the votes it needs in Congress to pass.
