As an " unrepentant bi-sexual ", I will defend Trent Lott's right
to have what is really just the traditional view of homosexuality: that
it is a wicked sin condemned by the Bible. People everywhere have a
divine right to express their beliefs .I understand he does not think
they should be persecuted or abused - like alcoholics, he thinks, they
need help.
Gay people must also " tolerate " traditionally religious people who
are indeed the majority in this country. I respect any man's intellectual
and ethical integrity . I do not want anybody to change their deepest
convictions because of social pressures.
For example I believe in Darwin's theory of evolution. Science is
on my side as it is on my side in this matter of sexual orientation. But
most Americans have the traditional view of Creation. Do we " progressive "
minded people want them to renounce their simple faith unwillingly ?
No, we must only insist that Darwin's theory prevail in the SCIENCE
class - for the good of the country.
Many gay people also have something to learn about TOLERANCE !
I will say this about Trent Lott : unlike Lot's wife in the Bible,
HE is always looking backward. Perhaps his brain will turn to stone !
