What year is this?

The following letter to the editor was published in my local paper. My responses will be in red. 

To the editor:Last week your paper reported that USU hired Maure Smith (at taxpayers’ expense) to “keep homosexuals and transsexuals safe.”So I ask again, “How does homosexuality safely fit in a heterosexual world?” How do heterosexual boys safely share a tent or locker room with homosexual boys? I have shared a house, a bathroom, a bedroom and a tent with a homosexual and NEVER have been molested. I showered in high school with all the boys, showered at local gyms and have never been oggled, raped, or hit on. Most parents would not allow their daughters to share those spaces with boys, so why put homosexual boys with heterosexual boys? Heterosexual boys do not look at homosexual boys and get a boner. They could look at the girls and be aroused. Homosexuals can control their thoughts. Just like most people don’t go to the beach and get wood because they see a girl in a bikini. Homosexuals claim they cannot help or control the way they are. Can you will your hair to change from blonde to black? You can dye it and cover it up, but the roots will always come back the same. I can try to pray it away, I can have sex with girls, I can go on a mission, but at the end of the day I am still attracted to men.Then why do we think they will control the way they behave?  Are they better behaved than heterosexuals? No, but contrary to popular belief homosexuals have morals too.A local high school student told me she was assigned to room with lesbians on a high school trip. Teen-age lesbians had sex in the adjacent bed each night. Heterosexuals would have been sent home for such behavior. This student was told to be more tolerant. Who will educators hire to protect girls who share rooms with lesbians? This is obviously a lie, and should discredit his whole article. If the educator looked past it, a parent should have filed a lawsuit, the chaparone would have been listed as a defendant, an would be fired. Sorry dude, you are a liar.

USU has rules against co-ed dorms, but they encourage homosexual behavior. How is it encouraged? I want evidence and proof. I have never seen the required class called “Becoming gay, even though you are straight 1020.” Is this not a contradiction? And why do we as a community turn a blind eye to it?Most divorced or widowed women say their children need fathers. Divorced men say their children need mothers. Sociologists point to the absence of the father in the home as one of the major causes of social deviance in children. Yet educators and politicians promote lesbian marriages which permanently remove fathers from homes, and the lives of children. Many homosexual men believe their children do not need mothers. Do we believe children do not need mothers? If we support gay marriages we do. No homosexual partners can biologically create a child of their own, they must adopt. Which is better a home with two loving adults, or a child who moves from foster home to foster home, or worse grows up in an orphanage over seas that has never been held, never had a toy, is never talked to, never taught how to walk or talk? Which is worse a two parent home, or a home where the parents are constantly fighting and screaming at each other?The Catholic Church faced uproars because many boys were molested by homosexual pedophile priests. They molested boys because they had access to them. They had access because society puts boys in the care of men, and girls in the care of women. Mormons molest boys too. There is a case right now in the Northwest where a Mormon home teacher raped a boy repeatedly. A friend whose wife works with sexual predators said there are no homosexuals currently incarcerated in Logan for molestation. There are sick people who have raped kids being held, but they are heterosexuals who performed a homosexual act with a child, they are sick heterosexuals. Furthermore there is a higher chance that a family member will molest a child than a non family member, gay or straight.Men cannot be trusted chaperoning girls. True, no bishops should ever be at girls camp because they are rapists, right? And homosexual men cannot be trusted with boys. The Catholics learned this tragic lesson. Must we also learn that lesson? Several Cache Valley teachers were recently convicted for molesting students. Does it not alarm educators that these molestations were homosexual as well? Again, there are nasty people from all religions, and if we look at facts I am willing to bet the majority of child molestations in Logan are commited by Mormons due to a higher concentration. We need to see that it is the individual that commits crimes, not demographics.

I do not understand why so much is being done to protect homosexual behavior, but so little is being done to understand the conflict its acceptance brings to a community. I know the conflict, it is people who are unwilling to open their eyes that parents rape kids, uncles, grandpas, cousins rape kids. Married men rape kids, Mormons, Jews, Catholics, Methodists and Stake Presidents rape kids. The conflict occurs because people are unwilling to look at facts and are afraid of what they don’t know. The educators just won a battle for the exclusive right to teach our children. Not true, there are private schools, charter schools and home school options. I am concerned however with what many of them are teaching and promoting among our children. I am concerned as well, I had to learn pythagoras theorem, and have never used it. What I never learned was it was okay to be gay, or that it was normal to feel different. I learned math in math class. I learned biology in biology, and learned creative writing in creative writing. Will someone from the homosexual community please write and explain how homosexuality “fits” in tents, locker rooms, overnight school trips and college dorms? You’re right douche bag, gay people should not go camping, should not work out at gyms, should be denied educational trips and should not have access to state funded housing. Could someone from the “straight community” get an education.

I have tried to so hard to have nothing but kind words to say about the LDS people and faith. I never wanted to feel a divide between me and the majority of Utahn’s. I hate that I am feeling anger and hate toward the LDS faith. Why do people have to be so ignorant? I know that this is one guy in a sea of really cool Mormons, but I am seeing the same bigoted comments everywhere I look. I am hearing the same hate speach spewed from good Mormons mouths. I am sick of it, and am getting sick of them.
