I have no animosity to gays, as long as they leave me and my family alone. I have worked with them, had classes under them, socialized with them, and appreciated much of their work in fashion, design, and the arts.

What I do not appreciate is someone like Sullivan risking the well-being of this nation for his own personal gratification. I hold the same animosity towards the anti-immigration people who oppose Bush, simply because they want to "teach him a lesson."

We are at war. People who want their own pet causes pushed at the expense of national safety are irresponsible, in my opinion.

The problem with today's homosexual is that they cannot live in anonymity. They are compelled to reveal, rejoice in and proselytize their sexual choices.

Years ago homosexuals were aware (because churches and society told them) that they were sexually confused and maladapted due to some early childhood sexual abuse. So they kept their behavior to themselves.

Not these days. Once the American Psychiatric Association lifted its admonition against homosexuality, gays were encouraged to declare their gayness as "normal" and "healthy."

It's neither.

I have no animosity toward gays who admit their error. We are all sinners in need of God's grace.

But gays who teach our children that homosexuality is good and productive are evil. They are perpetuating the sexual abuse of children which they've suffered themselves.

It has to stop somewhere.
