Does Dianetics prohibit same-sex marriage

Dianetics is a set of ideas and practices regarding the metaphysical relationship between the mind and body that was invented by L. Ron Hubbard and is practiced by followers of Scientology. For most of its existence, Scientology has defined homosexuality as a deviance that needs to be cured. The San Diego branch of Scientology supported Proposition 8 to ban "gay marriage" in the state of California. A 2004 article in the St. Petersburg Times reported that the Church defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman, however, a Church of Scientology representative provided an author who was writing some tomes on religion the following statement in 2005:

"The Church of Scientology does not dictate sexual preferences. Scientology is a practical method of improving conditions in life and works to increase a person's abilities, give higher IQ and better reaction time, greater ability to solve his problems in life - things of this nature."

Still, it is clear that when Dianetics was formulated by Mr. Hubbard he would have been opposed to calling a relationship between same-sex individuals a marriage.
