Loving The Sinner…(continued)

From the Letters To The Editor page of the Asheville North Carolina Citizen-Times, January 4, 2009.  Welcome to the New Year my fellow gay Americans…

Regarding the story, “Gay wedding ban protested,” (AC-T, Dec. 21): I feel morally obligated to express my opinion. I am a transplant from Jackson, Miss., who is astounded by how many homosexuals have “infested” this beautiful city. I just don’t know what the general population should do.

Perhaps the solution would be to set aside a specific state of the union for them to inhabit – perhaps we should set up a new name for Connecticut and call it “ Sodom” or “Gomorrah.” I guess what these people think is that I should not be disgusted when I see them walking down the street holding hands and kissing in public. Do they think we can’t help but think about what they do in private when we see them going as far as they can in public?

I speak as a straight person and am against acts committed against God’s “natural” plan for the human race and the animals He put here for us to be in charge of. I encourage anyone to write an opinion on why they think that God made a male and a female.

If God condoned this type of behavior, He would have created one sex – not two.

Nancy Robertson, Arden

Emphasis mine.  Lady, do you think about what an opposite sex couple does in private when you see them holding hands in public?  No.  Of course not.  Because when you see an opposite sex couple you think of love.  When you see a same sex couple all you can think about is sex, because they are nothing more to you then animals.  And that’s because you’re a bigot.  It isn’t gays who are infesting Asheville lady.  It’s bigots like you.

Perhaps the solution would be to set aside a specific state for your kind to inhabit.  We could call it Sodom.  Or Gomorrah.  You know…the two cities in the bible that were destroyed for their arrogance, greed and inhospitality.

Or perhaps we could just call it the Hate state.

    I prefer my breakfast where it is, thanks. 

  2. Bruce Says:

    I have an old issue of Penthouse I bought ages ago because it had an interview in it with Jerry Falwell.  The fact of Falwell doing an interview with Penthouse was reason enough to buy it.  But I found as I flipped though it a few days ago, during my big house clearing project (which is still going on by the way…), that the thing lets me know in pretty unambiguous terms how far to the gay side of the Kinsey scale I am.

    I’m often accused of preferring more feminine looking guys.  That’s not so much a measure of me as a measure of how macho American culture still is.  If you’re not XYYYYYYY then you’re a girly boy.  But I will admit to liking a degree of andronginy in my guys.  Well…check out the drawings I’ve been posting lately. 

    That makes some of my gay friends wonder just how gay I actually am. For decades I’ve had to deal with it.  I kid you not.  Yes…a pretty face (by my reckoning), male or female, will turn my head.  And I get along with girls just fine…particularly geek girls.  But below the neck line I just like guys.  It’s just the way I am.  It is definitely the way I am.  I can prove it to myself any time by flipping open a copy of Penthouse.  I’m exactly like that guy in the Chemistry.Com commercial.
