Date: Tue, 28 Feb 1995 14:57:04 -0600 (CST) From: Kevyn Jacobs To: "Kansas Queer News [KQN]" Subject: KSU COLLEGIAN: PEOPLE SHOULD MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS FROM THE KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1995 REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION =============================== LETTER: PEOPLE SHOULD MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS Dear editor, At the risk of being labeled a "totolerant" person, I don't understand how in one sentence John Hart in the Thursday Feb. 23 Collegian can say that he "find[s] homosexuality immoral," and in the same sentence say "but [I] treat gay people with the same, if not more, respect than the average person." Why, Mr. Hart? Why bother to convey your respects if you find their lifestyle choice so immoral? You know what? I doubt they want your respect. Why should something as deeply personal as sexual preference make any difference in what you think? Why is it any of your business, anyway? It's ironic that you preach tolerance and say in the same article that homosexuality is immoral. I understand that it is just your opinion, but if you find it so repugnant, than why even bother to pretend tolerance? It must be difficult for people like John Hart, being perfect and all, to try to convert the godless heathens. If Hart does not wish to be labeled "intolerant, hateful, bigoted and homophobic," then perhaps he shouldn't say things that fit those definitions.
