Personally, I would not care whether or not there were gay soldiers, but if this leads towards legalization of same-sex marriages, I am completely opposed to that notion.

This is a sad day for America. Then again allowing homosexuals into the military as long as they kept quiet wasn't a good day either. It should be common sense to anyone that, though you wouldn't want them anywhere, the military is one of the last places you'd want homosexuals. And as the results of the survey of the military shows, the members of the military overwhelmingly oppose allowing open homosexuals among their ranks.

The American Psychological Association (APA) classified homosexuality as a mental disorder, then declassified it as such. Today the APA is on its way to declassify pedophilia as a mental disorder, condone it, and make it normal and accepted, following the path of homosexuality.

Will it be 18 years before pedophiles are protected, or are we already there?

This topic gave me hope for American culture and society.

Then you killed it.

How did you do it so effortlessly?

Source on de-classifying pedophilia as a mental disorder? Or were you listening to some batshit crazy "American Family Association" pundit spewing his mouth on something that he knows exactly nothing about. The APA has never entertained such ideas ever, and why does every person always equate homosexuality with pedophilia? Do some research before making your ridiculous, outlandish, incredibly ignorant claims, pleasel.

Hell of an amazing first post.

If you give an inch, they'll take a mile. The inch that was given is that someone is a homosexual. There is no such thing as a homosexual. There are only males and females.

Gay marriage will be legalized eventually, it's inevitable. The only reason it isn't atm is the older generation's stigma against homosexuals due to religious reasons.

The younger generation is far more tolerant and accepting. As our generation gets older, I don't see them changing their minds to suddenly disapproving of gay marriage, and thus assuming the next generation after us doesn't have a wild swing in the opposite direction, I just don't see how it won't happen in my lifetime.

Yep, it's funny actually. Some times it seems like cultural developments like this are mostly just the product of time, and embittered older generations slowly dying off until they're significantly outnumbered.

Why leave? This attitude of intolerance keeps diminishing over the years, soon enough same sex marriages will be recognized by the government. Any way, that someone is allowed to say something like that, as ignorant and bigoted as it is, is the main reason I'm interested in staying here.

It's more that you don't want to be surrounded by people with opposite mentalities such as yourself. Sure, you want them to be able to say anything they want, but do you want to live in that society? I'd move if I was surrounded by a bunch of intolerant bigots, even if I want them to have the right to be bigoted.

We're going to become the older generation someday. Younger generations will point at us and laugh because we considered pedophilia a crime or something equally heinous to us in the future.

We all know it's going to happen.

Or we could live in Britain or somewhere that speaks English that's a decade ahead of the United States in terms of culture.

I mean, people are allowed to speak their mind in Europe but they seem to be quite a bit more liberal in terms of social policy. And, if I might add, somewhat more intelligent in terms of mathematical and scientific skill.

It's not that people equate homosexuality with pedophilia, but it's not uncommon for homosexuals to have been molested as a child. Even George Takei on the Howard Stern show told the story of being molested as a child as how he knew he was a homosexual.
