Letter: Wake up, America

What do you know, I woke up this morning to be told I have become a bigot, a religious zealot, intolerant and a homophobe. The radical homosexual community has told me this, while hypocritically showing their special brand of tolerance that stops at the end of their nose.

They want to redefine marriage after 2,000 years of success from a sacrament to a sacrilege, while history has taught us the strength of any society is the traditional family. Their agenda includes the indoctrination of our youth into a lifestyle that many find deviant and dangerous. This through a willing media and school system. There have been 519,418 deaths from AIDS within the United States through 2004. The medical community refers to the physical and emotional problems within the homosexual community as “lavender diseases.” They include oral gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis A and B, increased suicide rates and shorter life spans.

Activist judges ignore the will of the people to decide what is best for our children and country. The religious teachings we have given our children are ignored, while all studies show children are better served by the different talents of father and mother.

With the radical homosexual, traditional tolerance is not enough. Anyone expressing views that homosexuality is immoral wouldn’t fit. The democratic way is shunned (see the 70 percent average plurality of states affirming marriage to be between a man and a woman) while government is asked not only to tolerate but to advocate this lifestyle.

Wake up, America. Your children and the very soul of America depend upon it.
