&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Homosexuality is a naturally-occurring sexual orientation found in human beings as well as many other vertebrate species.  In general, homosexuality is described as a sexual attraction towards a member of one's own sex/gender.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biblical Views on Homosexuality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the book of Leviticus (18:22) of the King James Version of the Bible is found the following verse:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This has been interpreted by many to be a condemnation of homosexual activity, but due to mistranslations and other errors may instead refer to the use of sexual intercourse to gain dominion over others and not to consenting and loving relationships between couples of the same sex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Modern Views on Homosexuality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The American Psychiatric Association de-listed homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973.[http://www.apa.org/pi/reslgbc.html]  Since that time, homosexuals have advocated for recognition of their civil rights and for equal protection under the law.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Legal marriage between same-sex couples is now recognized in several European nations as well as in the State of Massachusetts.  In other states a more limited recognition of same-sex relationships is available and is called a &amp;quot;civil union&amp;quot;.  Many other states have passed constitutional amendments banning recognition of same-sex marriages performed anywhere and some groups on the far right advocate for a Federal amendment to deny equal marriage rights to same-sex couples.&lt;br /&gt;

His presidency was marked mostly by a poor economy, and a war with Iraq in which he deliberately made the decision to end the conflict when the original goal of liberating Kuwait was achieved, and to stop short of invading Iraq (That is, he formulated an &amp;quot;exit strategy&amp;quot; before entering.).

&lt;div&gt;Much to his Mum and Dad's dismay&lt;br /&gt;
Horace ate himself one day.&lt;br /&gt;
He didn't stop to say his grace,&lt;br /&gt;
He just sat down and ate his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We can't have this his Dad declared,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If that lad's ate, he should be shared.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
But even as he spoke they saw&lt;br /&gt;
Horace eating more and more:&lt;br /&gt;
First his legs and then his thighs,&lt;br /&gt;
His arms, his nose, his hair, his eyes...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Stop him someone!&amp;quot; Mother cried&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Those eyeballs would be better fried!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
But all too late, for they were gone,&lt;br /&gt;
And he had started on his dong...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh! foolish child!&amp;quot; the father mourns&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You could have deep-fried that with prawns,&lt;br /&gt;
Some parsley and some tartar sauce...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
But H. was on his second course:&lt;br /&gt;
His liver and his lights and lung,&lt;br /&gt;
His ears, his neck, his chin, his tongue;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;To think I raised him from the cot&lt;br /&gt;
And now he's going to scoff the lot!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His Mother cried: &amp;quot;What shall we do?&lt;br /&gt;
What's left won't even make a stew...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
And as she wept, her son was seen&lt;br /&gt;
To eat his head, his heart, his spleen.&lt;br /&gt;
And there he lay: a boy no more,&lt;br /&gt;
Just a stomach, on the floor...&lt;br /&gt;
None the less, since it was his&lt;br /&gt;
They ate it – that's what haggis is.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Roman Emperor Claudius II defended the Empire against invading Goths in the 3rd century.  He forbade marriage because he thought that single men were tougher soldiers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Valentine was a Christian bishop in Italy who secretly married young couples.  When caught, he was sentenced to be beaten to death with clubs and beheaded on February 14, 269 A.D.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But as he awaited his execution, this Christian prayed for the jailers' sick daughter and wrote her a note.  He signed it &amp;quot;from your Valentine.&amp;quot;  She miraculously recovered and in A.D. 469, Pope Gelasius designated February 14th as &amp;quot;Saint Valentine's Day.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Homosexuality is sexual attraction to a person of the same sex.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biblical views on homosexuality:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such thing is an abomination.'' Leviticus 18:22&lt;br /&gt;

Valentine was a Christian bishop in Italy who secretly married young couples.  When caught, he was sentenced to be beaten to death with clubs and beheaded on February 14, 269 A.D.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But as he awaited his execution, this Christian prayed for the jailers' sick daughter and wrote her a note.  He signed it &amp;quot;from your Valentine.&amp;quot;  She miraculously recovered and in A.D. 469, Pope Gelasius designated February 14th as &amp;quot;Saint Valentine's Day.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then the true meaning of this day has been forgotten. Instead greedy corporations have taken it over forcing both men and women alike to spend outragous amounts of money that could otherwise be used towards drugs or alcohol. This is more true for men as they are made to feel like they are assholes if they do not end up at least a thousand dollars in debt after this holiday, as stores offer discounts that are not discounts at all, they mearly up the price of their products a few weeks before the holiday, then lower them half of what they increased it by.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
