Pro-gay letter fell flat

  • Follow Letters

The letter “Gays merely want rights” by John Cashin (Feb. 22) was the lamest attempt to be cool and progressive that I have ever seen.

When did unnatural sex become a civil right? Funk & Wagnalls defines unnatural as “contrary to the laws of nature.” Homosexuality rarely occurs in the natural world because snakes know better, monkeys know better, and birds, fish, lizards and even insects know better.

Mr. Cashin states that gays have no agenda. That is the second-most preposterous statement in his letter. His most ridiculous statement is that no laws have been broken. A Georgia law criminalizes sodomy. Sheriffs’ deputies have a legal obligation to arrest any person they witness engaged in any act of sodomy.

He asks why we don’t write letters protesting rape, murder or incest. The answer? We don’t have to. Society has the good sense to arrest and jail those people.

He says “They just want their rights.” I guess he means civil rights, which are described by Funk & Wagnalls as private and nonpolitical. Do us all a favor and keep your sexual preferences private and nonpolitical.

By one reliable estimate, more than 97 percent of U.S. citizens are heterosexual. Why do we have to cater to the 3 percent? After years of research and billions of dollars spent, geneticists are unable to find a gene that causes people to be homosexual. Until we know that a person can be genetically predisposed to be homosexual, it remains a matter of choice.

Today’s gay rights movement may be the first time in history that such a small group of people have been so vocal, so adamant and so public to promote a sexual activity. The 97 percent have much more important things to attend to, such as God, family, jobs, food, clothes and shelter.

@WritingsOnTheWall

So, what you would like to see is ALL journalism reporting to be towards one side, as to assist that side only?

Yes, you're correct that does sound like Nazi Germany.

" "Please explain you comment

"
"Please explain you comment karradur? What does the internet have to do with rude behavior?"

To paraphrase Chris Kluwe, sometimes it's the only way to get through to people like you who have convictions I could never feasibly change."

So you admit that since you can not discuss the subject as an adult, instead of stating your opinion and then agreeing to disagree, you take on juvenile and rude behavior as an alternative to try and make your point. Well at least I know whom I'm dealing with.

" Do you report so as to

" Do you report so as to allow the continuation of harm to a minority or a less powerful person or group or do you report in such a manner as to help change the situation that is causing harm?"

That's the problem with liberal "journalists." Their job is to report the facts, NOT promote one agenda over another.

"So you admit that since you can not discuss the subject as an adult, instead of stating your opinion and then agreeing to disagree, you take on juvenile and rude behavior as an alternative to try and make your point. Well at least I know whom I'm dealing with."

Why am I supposed to agree to disagree?

Like this is something where there is a reasonable compromise or a middle ground.

That's funny.

" What I do mind is you

" What I do mind is you thinking we're a Christian theocracy and that you can impose your religious will on us."

No one said we are, or that we can. But I'm not surprised you would post that....see my last post for the reason.

"Yes conservatives never have

"Yes conservatives never have a bias or make up their own facts to fit their own agendas. They are perfect, pure, and moral. Riiiiiiight."

Again....let's see your evidence.....not that I would defend it if you could find it, because I'm not a hypocrite. I condemn journalists lying from either side.

"You guys need to listen to

"You guys need to listen to Jon Huntsmen. The 100 year old religious social agenda is killing the GOP. Why you all cling to it is beyond me."

@Writingsonthewall

Care to address NATURE? That's what I've used to argue against gay marriage, because NATURE itself has created a system where homosexuality is AGAINST NATURE. Every species requires male and female to procreate, and it's impossible for homosexual human beings to naturally procreate.

Also, exactly what do you call "inhumane treatment"?

Seriously, please answer that. Because the ONLY aspect of homosexual lifestyle I'm opposed to, is societies acceptance of legalized gay marriage. Besides this, I couldn't care less what people do with their lives. Do is oppossing gay marriage "Inhumane treatment"? Please answer.

"Please don't bring up

"Please don't bring up pedophilia or bestiality as neither animals nor children can consent and they are not anything like two grown women or two grown males loving one another."

Yeah...please don't bring up facts that he/she can't defend. It's not fair.
