COUNCIL: Here's what gay isn't

Just because a person is gay doesn’t mean he or she is a sex fiend, but prefer a companion of the same sex. Think about it: If your little girl has a male school teacher, are you concerned about her sexual safety? Will that teacher ravish your child? Of course not. We all know heterosexual men/ women we wouldn’t leave our girls/boys with. Ever heard of pedophiles?

The core of sexual orientation intolerance stems from a person being different from you. I sure hope one of these intolerant people doesn’t take a dislike as to the shade of lipstick I wear, lest they run me out of town, or think I’m a Commie because I drive a Honda, or I’m a hooker because my pants are too tight.

Open your minds people! You drone about Christianity. Show us what a Christian is really about. I’m not seeing it. The statement, “crime against nature” is baloney. Quite frankly my dear, it’s none of your business what choice another person makes in life. I have a novel idea: Let’s take a look in the mirror then get to work on becoming a better person.
