I am frankly appalled by Chad Pacha’s letter (Daily, Tuesday, April 7). His line of reasoning, if followed, would take us to a very unhappy state of affairs.

If I can kiss my boyfriend on campus and not be stared at, I think John Doe deserves the same when he wants to kiss HIS boyfriend. This is the world I want to live in and see discussed in the news, not some purified WASP (and straight) apartheid state.

The saddest thing about narrow mindedness is its incapacity to accept that we should all be allowed the same level of rights.

People like him, 50 years ago, would have said they didn’t really mind African Americans, but they didn’t see why they had to sit on the same bus.

I think the Daily should run a series of pictures on gay love, so as to help Mr. Pacha come out of his personal, very dark closet.
