| Laura's distaste of Homosexuality is nothing | | | | do nothing to prohibit this. If he can feel |
| new, and there has been much advocacy against | | | | the same for a man, the way a man can feel |

| similar views, have defended her opinions. | | | | to it as a profanity? It would be committing |
| However, what she said her, it may hold some | | | | a disgrace to truth and justice if one were |
| kernal of truth. It may very well be truth, | | | | to call such a profanity. When a man loves a |
| that biologically, it is an "error," if such | | | | woman, runs his hands up and down her body, |
| a term has any real meaning, for someone to | | | | gazes unendingly into her eyes, plays with |

| the same sex, procreation cannot occur. It | | | | does the same to him, these are images that |

| If the natural purpose of every organism is | | | | and wholeness that take over our minds, at |
| to procreate, that their offspring may also | | | | the thought of such actions, these are but |
| procreate indefinitely, then I have no | | | | the same emotions that a man can still have |
| argument. If it happens to be true, that the | | | | for a man, or a woman for a woman. No |
| purpose of life is simply procreation, of | | | | relationship can be condemned as a source of |
| reproducing the old generation, then I cannot | | | | obsenity, when the partners involved hold a |
| deny the truth of the statement, that | | | | genuine affection for each other. Perhaps |
| Homosexuality is "some kind of error." I can | | | | the message I am trying to express is this... |
| present no argument that I genuinely believe, | | | | That sex and love are nothing to be ashamed |
| no objection that I sincerely hold as truth. | | | | of, regardless of what we are told, by our |

| holds no purpose than creating offspring.It | | | | communities. To condemn a man for choosing |

| biological error, not to engage in activities | | | | than to condemn a man for choosing to express |
| which produce children. If we are to accept | | | | himself with poetry instead of art. It is |
| this morbid description, of a possible | | | | but a preference, and no one suffers at the |
| meaning of life, and if we accept it to be | | | | choice of either. The only time that |
| true, that procreation is the only purpose, | | | | suffering can occur in this scenario is when |
| then we must also accept that a bond of love | | | | the man is forced to choose one over the |
| holds no purpose than this. When we see a | | | | other, due to Totalitarian Law.Liberty, |
| lover touch the face of the person of their | | | | justice, and peace may very well be the |
| desires, seeing the gentle fingers caress the | | | | greatest standards that we seek. To deny a |
| soft skin, we must turn away from what our | | | | man his right to express himself, to ban one |
| heart tells us, we must believe that our eyes | | | | sexual orientation or one form of art, is to |
| are lying to us, and we must reason, that | | | | commit a crime against liberty and justice. |
| since affection and kindness produce no | | | | It has only been weeks since the United |
| children, they are "some kind of biological | | | | States Supreme Court has decided that |
| error." When the same lover sits alone, in | | | | homosexuality cannot be banned. Up until |
| her room, crying over memories, mourning over | | | | this time, millions of people have been |
| thoughts, knowing that her love is far away | | | | executed, denied employment, or imprisoned |
| -- when that same lover must spend days in | | | | for their sexuality. And we cannot think |
| total solitary, away from the one who makes | | | | that this is any different than when a man is |
| the colors in her world brighter, going | | | | discriminated against for the opinions he |
| through old poetry, looking at old pictures | | | | harbors. There are still people in prison |
| -- when a person is poor in those things | | | | today, for what the state has so lovingly |
| which enrich the heart, because they are away | | | | called "crimes against nature." Those who |
| from their lover, then we must believe Dr. | | | | have engaged in Homosexual, or even taboo |
| Laura, that it is "some kind of biological | | | | sexualities, have been imprisoned for up to |
| error." It is true, that a lover who thinks | | | | years. This is not some foreign activity of |
| about the one whay may not come back, is | | | | centuries past. Rather, it is something that |
| enough to bring out sympathy from every | | | | the government has actively imprisoned people |
| humane thinker, it is enough to bring out | | | | for in the past centuries. It is a draconian |
| tears in those who have known such pains.... | | | | and arcane method of government, as it is |
| but since it produces no children, Dr. Laura | | | | opposed to all principles of liberty, justice |
| will call it "a biological error," and | | | | and peace. It is a violation of the mind's |
| everything that we once knew to be life | | | | need for freedom, of the heart's dreams of |
| becomes sacrilige in her black god's | | | | tranquility. To deny a man his right to |
| ideology.By her own definition of a | | | | sexuality is just as profane an action it is |
| "biological error," everything that | | | | to deny a man his right to expression.Listen |
| creativity has spawned becomes heresy, | | | | to me! These people are your brothers and |
| everything that an independent mind can | | | | sisters, they are your mothers and fathers, |
| create becomes taboo, and those things which | | | | they are your sons and daughters! I admit, |
| make the heart soar with euphoria are | | | | you may not be related by blood, but what you |
| condemned. Poetry becomes vanity, art | | | | do share together is infinitely greater than |
| becomes self-loathing, and music becomes | | | | the bond of blood. Together, you all endure |
| irrelevant. Since they are incapable of | | | | the fears of pain and misery, the worry of |
| producing more children, of increasing the | | | | the fate of those around you exists to all of |
| population, they are unimportant. Can anyone | | | | you, the dreams of a better life without |

| music, to see the beauty of art, to feel the | | | | others.... Know this, that they feel the |
| tranquil nature of poetry -- to understand | | | | same as you do, that a man's sexuality does |
| the depth and meaning of expression, and to | | | | not destroy his natural attraction to |
| reply, "This is but an error in biology." | | | | goodness, that whatever a man does by himself |
| What sort of human being can be so deaf to | | | | alone, he may very well still hold charity |
| beauty, so blind to peace, so desensitized | | | | and generosity in heart towards humanity, |

| I do not believe that a person can be so | | | | may very well be murdering or pillaging |

| as we like, so long as no others are hurt. | | | | would be a fool and tyrant to condemn every |
