An article by Kari Cobham dated November 2, 2007 in the Daytona Beach news-journal online.com has this as an opening paragraph:
DAYTONA BEACH -- A former Daytona Beach city commissioner and a local high school teacher arrested Thursday during a sex sting at a Volusia mall bathroom were released from the Volusia County Brach Jail today, authorities said.
This type of arrest is not unusual at all, but makes the big time when there are men of some repute among those arrested. Even this story will not receive the coverage as did the one where a U.S. congressman was arrested recently in a restroom. This particular one in Daytona Beach is quite interesting to read and to ponder. There are numerous “Letters to the editor" printed below the article in response to it. And as usual many of the letters are written by some who cannot spell shirt without leaving out at least one letter. Some mourning the arrest, while others suggest that they be hanged and others that they be castrated. But on the other hand, many do ask intelligent questions and others offer intelligent comments.
But in this author’s opinion, it reinforces the arguments that I have always made concerning homosexuality and whether or not it is sanctioned by the Bible or if it is a normal or natural lifestyle.
The issue facing the American people is whether or not there should be special privileges given to homosexuals in their perverted lifestyle and not to every other form of sexual perversion. Using the subject group above as an example (and by the way, these men have not had their day in court so we must not presume their guilt) let us see what questions arise. We can, at least, use these as an hypothetical example pending the court’s decision in each case.
(1) Men of good reputation in the community, who have much to lose by this episode… so the question that hits my mind first and foremost is WHY? To have a gathering and somewhat of a sex orgy in a public rest room seems to me to be insane. Some of the response letters who were taking sides with those arrested, contends that they had to do that because there was no place provided for such a rendezvous!! (?) Have any of you ever known of a gathering place being provided heterosexual orgies? I’m speaking of provided by city, state or national funds which I presume the response had in mind. I contend that such activity is very sick, whether homo or hetero. I say that group sex among heterosexuals is a mental problem as well as is homosexuality.
(2) Are these part of the same people who expect to be given special rights because they are homosexual, yet profess that they are normal and their lifestyle is natural? Again, some of those who responded to the article say that these people are not typical of those who want to settle down and live a normal quiet married life with another of their same sex. I understand that there are almost infinite degrees of sexual perversions but which ones are to get the special privileges? Maybe after they have lived a very prudent 5-10 years with their mate and been a deserving citizen? And may we presume that they have only one mate? If given rights to be equal to those of man and woman marriages, then they should be allowed only one at a time at least.
(3) It may be partly my own imagination, if so I apologize to all concerned. But it appears to me that these public displays, or near public displays are for the purpose of being seen or discovered by those who are heterosexual. I sometimes see two males or two females together who fondle and kiss in public to the point of being ridiculous. I have, on rare occasions, seen this type behavior between male/female couples, however, since we have 90% straight and about 10% gay, it would seem that the frequency of such displays would be much higher among heterosexuals than homosexuals. But the reverse is true.
I know that I was born in the United States and therefore am a natural born citizen. I also know that I have never had any homosexual tendencies in the least, and therefore I cannot fully sympathize with immigrants or with those whose minds have grown perverted sexually. But as I think now, under what I believe to be a sound mind, that if I were either of the above two, I would be striving as hard as I could to get myself sexually oriented straight if I had such perversion, or I would be striving to learn this country’s English language if I spoke some other language. It just isn’t something that should be expected of a nation to change the majority to accept the minority language or lifestyle.
