love is more than OK and should be approved?? I believe Dr Laura has been on
them about it. So, of course gay marriage would be an easy first step down the
slippey slope to no morality at all.</FONT></DIV>

<P><B style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Representatives of the
nation's top psychiatric group approved a statement Sunday urging legal
recognition of gay marriage.</B></P>
<P>If approved by the association's directors in July, the measure would make
the American Psychiatric Association the first major medical group to take
such a stance.</P>
<P>The statement supports same-sex marriage "in the interest of maintaining
and promoting mental health."</P>
<P>It follows a similar measure by the American Psychological Association last
year, little more than three decades after that group removed homosexuality
from its list of mental disorders.</P>
<P>The psychiatric association's statement, approved by voice vote on the
first day of its weeklong annual meeting in Atlanta, cites the "positive
influence of a stable, adult partnership on the health of all family
members."</P>
<P>The resolution recognizes "that gay men and lesbians are full human beings
who should be afforded the same human and civil rights," said Margery Sved, a
Raleigh, North Carolina, psychiatrist and member of the assembly's committee
on gay and lesbian issues.</P>
<P>The document clarifies that the association is addressing same-sex civil
marriage, not religious marriages. It takes no position on any religion's
views on marriage.</P>
<P>Massachusetts is the only state that allows same-sex marriage. Eighteen
states have passed constitutional amendments outlawing same-sex
marriage.</P></DIV>
