Editorials from the rag we call a paper
Since i often post stupid L2E in here that moronic rednecks write, i think it fair i post those who oppose these views. As few of them there are here
Treat people the same
This is regarding the letter published from Sheri Dupont.
So she has a problem with gays shoving their lifestyle down her throat?
I have a problem with people like her shoving down my throat her religion and her opinions against people who choose to love someone unconventional.
I don't care whether people choose to be with men, women, blacks, Hispanics, Indonesians or people from the moon, and she shouldn't either.
As a college student I have met men who are gay. They are not bad people and they are not out there beating up straight guys because they have a different lifestyle. But people who follow Dupont's way of thinking do.
What makes me sick is not the thought of gays, but rather reading letters such as hers. It has been published two times now and I don't want to see it again.
We live in America, and gays and lesbians need to have the same rights as her, me and all other Americans.

State's rights gone?
It seems that George W. Bush has departed from his supposed state's rights position and is attempting to legislate what goes on in our bedrooms through a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
He says: "For ages, in every culture, human beings have understood that traditional marriage is critical to the well-being of families. ... And changing the definition of traditional marriage will undermine the family structure."
Hmm, it seems to me that gay people are members of families already, in fact real families are made up of people who love and support us more then they judge us. How is that different from the family values that he is supposedly promoting to his conservative base?
Bush's attempt to make gay marriage a political issue in the coming months is a transparent effort to change the subject.
Is he so beleaguered by his current integrity issues that he is willing to draw attention from himself and foment hatred and discrimination of others as a smoke screen?
Is he willing to ask gay men and women to take the bullet for him? It's the oldest trick in the book - segregating and vilifying a minority portion of society to make the rest of us feel righteous or superior.
As a happily married man of many years, I do not feel for one moment that restricting someone else's ability to have what I have will enhance my life in the least. Instead, I offer this prayer to my God: Dear God, please deliver me from the sin of self righteousness and help me to accept that love is love.
