Why are we to respect your opinion and not hers?

First, I don't think I ever said that I don't respect the opinion that homosexuality is wrong, or even that Nellie Gray shouldn't have been allowed to kick PLAGAL out of what apparently is her March. But those of us who are pro-life know that what is a legal right, isn't always right. I contend it was wrong for Nellie to do what she did, even though she may have had the right to do it. But if she wants to do it, and the law allows her, then I say go right ahead. But I will publicly condemn her for it. And I will continue to insist that this brand of exclusionism is not good for the movement I desperately want to see succeed.

Second, homosexual behavior certainly has hurt us all and will continue to do so. We all pay for the spread of AIDS, which would have gone nowhere if it had not been for the behaviors of the homosexual community.

In the United States, it is true that homosexual behavior is the primary activity that spreads AIDS. But in the rest of the world, it is heterosexual intercourse that is the chief cause. Does that make heterosexuality as immoral to you as homosexuality?

And I contend that it was absolutely right. The pro-life cause must be, at its root, a moral cause. It can not succeed if we mix the holy with the profane, as it were.

As to the other, if I agree with you that heterosexual activity is the cause of the spread of AIDS in the rest of the world (citation?) then I would say the heterosexual activity that lead to its spread was indeed immoral and harmful. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if the rest of the world would keep their sexuality within the context of a monagomous heterosexual marriage, there would be no AIDS epidemic.

Shalom.
