Mr. Schulman,

While I appreciate the logical coherence of your argument, I wish to make a suggestion to you.

Read Genesis chapter 19 carefully and compare it to the current situation. There is something about the “andromen” that exceeds a simple desire to live an “alternative lifestyle”.

Since Genesis is my favorite book of the Bible, I’ve re-read it many times.

The problem Lot was having is not that the Sodomites were andromen. If that was his problem he would have offered them young males, rather than his daughter, to get them to leave the angels alone. That he offered his daughter is scriptural proof that the crime of sodomy is not same-sex pairing but rape.

I view the gay lobby much akin to the Muslim contingent. If you want to keep your ideas and concepts to your own circle of friends, and make your own choices behind closed doors, I disagree with your choices, but won't nay say your right to live apart as you want.

However, when you demand I approve of you, when you use force to intimidate those who disagree with you, when you use the legal system by stealth to create the world you desire and erase the one that has existed for thousands of years, and do the same with the way my country has existed for two hundred thirty plus, when you use the legal system to force the reeducation of my children to embrace ideas I find abhorrent, and when your plan is to actively recruit them no matter how you lie about doing so, I have to say, "enough!" It is enough that I, by the Grace of God, tolerate these actions; will not stand down and let them overcome my culture or my country.

The very people who want me to be ever more "tolerant" are the people sending death threats to the churches who fully and legally got a majority of Californians to vote for what they saw as right. And if the shoe were on the other foot, these threatening people would be called bigots and worse.
