Many will continue
to die from their

‘harmiul

Dear Editor:

Catherine Atyeo, in her AIDS
article states that, ‘...to read
Lautens, “homosexuals have a
monopoly on perversion.”*

f do not believe Mr. Lautens is
suggesting this at all, but the point
must be made that others who in-
dulge in sexual porversions do not
insist that their harmful fifescyles
be protected by law, as the pow-
erful homosexual lobbyists do.

Nor do they suggest that these
sexual perversions be accepted as
perfectly normal ‘‘alternative’’
lifestyles and demand the right to
teach them to children in schools.

1 believe that the majority of
people recognize that homosex-
uality must be a disorder, since we
are created male and female in

“order to be able to reproduce
ourselves.

Therefore, to be sexually at-
tracted to a person of the same
sex cannot be normal, since the
biological purpose of sexual in-
tercourse cannot be fulfilled —
and the body parts simply do not
fit!

‘Hf anyone chose to try and sat-

liestyles’

isty his appetite for food by
pushing it Chrough his nostrils in-
stead of consuming it by mouth,
people would surely recognize that
this person had a problem and
was in need of counselling.

AIDS is a 100% preventable
disease because it is spread by the
behavior of those who do not
recognize their need to change and
are indignant at such a suggestion.

Instead, they try to justify their
lifestyles and rely on porous latex
sheaths and clean needles to stem
the epidemic whilst awaiting some
miracle of science to rescue them
from certain death,

It is tragic that those who
present logical facts are accused of
suffering from some kind of
phobia and that some people can-
not differentiate between a sexual
orientation (however acquired)
and the choice to act on that ori-
entation.

No one dies from not having
sexual intercourse, but many will
continue to die by refusing to e
ercise their ability 10 say no to
drugs and sexual immorality.

Cheap familiarity uncalled for

Dear Editor:

] would like to comment on
your youth news column in which
Taleeb Noormohamed took issue
with Doug Collins.

Knowing that 1, personally,
would never mect with Collins’
approval, sceing that | am 50%
non-white and Jewish into the
bargain, [ can say that my sym-
pathies, at least as far as the col-
umn’s topic is concerned, are with
Noormohamed and not with Col-
lins,

Nevertheless, 1 find it objec-
tionable to hear a youngster refer
to an older person as ‘‘Collins’’ or
even ‘‘Doug.”*

The late Harold Weir (whose
approbation | would not have
earned either) called this sort of
thing cheap familiarity.

In this case it is also evidence of
poor manners and sloppy up-
bringing.
