To the editor:

I am responding to concern about my letter and how barbaric some of the people who wrote in thought it was. I appreciate your opinions and write again to reveal to you the meanings of my terms, since apparently some of you didn’t understand them the first time around.

I personally think the gay lifestyle is immoral and destructive to anyone who is gay. Since it is clear people who disagree with me probably have a different moral basis, my justification for why it is immoral would be pointless to comment about.

Ben Godar, an adversary to any good man, said I would be a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan with my opinions. His and any one else’s analogy between using the word “race” and “homosexual” is irrelevant. Being black is not a lifestyle, it is a race; being gay is a lifestyle. Could a black person change something about themselves and no longer be black? A gay person could make their decision about wanting to be gay.

Evidently, no one understood the idea of how homosexuals are destroying heterosexual unions. If you’re not hetero, you’re a homo. If you don’t prefer a heterosexual relationship, then you probably prefer a homosexual relationship. The sanctity of marriage is at stake when we speak of heterosexual unions.

This new sexual preference is drawing more and more people who statistically have been traumatized at an early age and are susceptible to this destructive lifestyle; rather than one which promotes procreation and family.

The more who people decide to become gay, the less amount of heterosexual unions there are. Well, we might say, “There’s not enough of them to complain,” but then why does legislation have to refute bill after bill of gays trying to get the right to marry? Under most studies, homosexual relationships can only sustain promiscuity and help incorporate multiple partners in turn, causing and spreading disease.

Mr. Godar was right in saying that “hate is never Christian.” We do have one thing in common. If he could kindly go back and read my letter, he would find that it doesn’t say the word “hate” or any reference to hating. My disapproval of the lifestyle doesn’t mean I hate any one person or people in particular.

It is just so appalling that our society is trying to support something that is so blatantly wrong is what upsets me. The newly accepted lifestyle is a cancer to any society that would allow it.
