Letter: Can't let it go

Editor, Daily News:

I thought that I could let Cal Thomas' Friday column go by unanswered, but when I decided to throw it away I decided the headline is so outrageous and an absolute lie that I couldn't let it go unanswered.

It said: "A 'yes' to gay marriages is a 'yes' to anything."

I suppose that Canada, England, Spain and Holland now marry any two creatures who request they be married, since they allow people of the same sex to marry. There has been no "glue" that has held marriage together for millennia.

Marriage, as defined by those who think like Cal Thomas, is a very recent invention. A survey of the history of marriage will tell a much different and richer story.

The "facts" expressed in this commentary are opinions, and very misleading ones at that.

To use such "scare" tactics of the kind espoused by Mr. Thomas should be beneath the dignity of the Daily News to print.
