Best as I can figure is that we don't have a choice when it comes to our sexual orientation, and there are biological and conditioning orientation aspects.

Sex in and of itself is overrated, not that there's anything wrong with it.

There are lil' blue pills for that problem, free courtesy of O Care, Nailer.

Time for some chocolate and bourbon is celebration of the spring planting.
IIRC I can have six ganga plants on the premises.

Thanks Obama.

I think I found the bee in Whell's sun bonnet. Gov. Snyder of Michigan vows to veto 'Religious Liberty' measure if it reaches his desk.

Not really. For now, given how the left has mucked this up with their brand of politics, it's probably the right thing to do.

Besides, Michigan is heading into tourist season which brings in almost the a third of state revenue. Tourist towns like Saugatuck also have significant gay populations. What a politically toxic mix that would be.

I thought you believe that the RFRA bill signed by Pence is not anit-gay.

"Mucked" what up? Yet another attempt to push America towards Theocracy? I hope this keeps going and the religious right gets exposed for what they really are..........AND GETS MARGINALIZED BY FREEDOM LOVING AMERICANS of all religious spiritual belief.

“The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.”
~John Adams, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America” 1787-1788

“We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition … In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.”
~George Washington

“History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”
~Thomas Jefferson

The greatest problem with these laws is that they assert that governmental neutrality in religious matters equates to the destruction of religious liberty.

Anybody who doesn't see that Americas right has a strongly biased bent towards one specific religion while attempting to veil their disdain for other beliefs and non-beliefs is either utterly stupid or living in denial.

"No Gays Allowed." is just a first step towards rolling back the advances in civil rights gained over the last 50 years. That's what this really is. Otherwise, why would the authors of these laws leave them so broad?

The Bible says homosexuality is a sin? The Bible also tell us that God darkened the descendants of Ham as punishment. The Bible may have a lot of good to offer, but, it has also been used to justify a of a lot of hate and bigotry over the centuries as well. Besides, the Bible IS NOT THE LAW OF THE LAND.

"We don't serve or employ your kind here."

Who doesn't see the potential for abuses in that?

No. We either have solid assurances that this "religious freedom" they speak of does not include the "freedom" of bigots to persecute people or the religious right can just blow it out their scheming collective asses.

No we have not see Matthew 22. For a self proclaimed religious person you do not appear to know your Bible.
