The short answer is:

It’s a legitimate disorder. Specifically it’s a type of factitious disorder - a person derives attention from lying about and faking symptoms in either themselves or others. Factitious disorder imposed on another is how it’s listed in the DSM-5. So it’s real but it’s hard to diagnose because people with it are really…

It used to be a recognized disorder all on its own, but like Asparger’s disease, it no longer exists except as part of a larger diagnostic catagory. MBP is now part of ‘Facticious’ (false) Injury Disorder.

“We are many” is absolutely a quote from the Bible. And since it’s a quote from the Bible it was obviously said by Jesus and not, oh, an entire legion of demons. That’s like 15oo demons. So good on Kim Davis for being familiar with her holy writ.

I don’t know, but how do they ever verify? If you can pull someone in and say “this is my current gay partner?” or if you just say “yes I’ve been a lesbian/gay all my life”? Those could also be lies, or cons.
