Dannemeyer’s Stance on Gays and Lesbians
I happen to think that Dannemeyer and other elected officials who support his point of view are the “narrow-minded people” of our society.
In the name of “Judeo-Christian ethics” we would probably discriminate against all kinds of people. After all, why should a Buddhist be allowed to rent or buy a house or some group that he doesn’t happen to agree with that doesn’t happen to fit his mold?
He says or implies that groups have every right to think or practice any life style but don’t do it next door or where I can see it. That philosophy has been used to keep Hispanics or African Americans or other groups from moving into “our” neighborhoods.”
I would really like Dannemeyer to explain how being homosexual is harmful to someone’s property. Or how homosexuality is somehow unconstitutional.
He is not only stretching his line of thinking beyond plausibility but accuses The Times of what he is guilty of--smugness and piety!
