North Carolina Conservatives are lying about sexual orientation and
gender identity to bully the anti-bullying bill into submission. To
defeat SB 526, the School Violence Prevention Act, Republican House
Minority Leader Paul Stam and the Christian Action League have been
claiming the existence of 30 sexual orientations as listed in the
DSM-IV, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-IV-TR) of the American Psychiatric Association. No such list
exists. It is a fabrication of conservative Christians used to defeat
any legislation that can be presumed to protect the human rights of
gay people.

Yup, they are a bunch of good ole boys who lie, backstab, and steal every chance they get.

And the Republicans are even worse.

However, it did pass the House (http://www.newsobserver.com/114/story/1580742.html) and now heads to the Governor's office.
