rights issue the vocal gay liberation movements say it should with this the ontario human rights com mission seems to agree when it recommends that homosexuals should have the same rights as everyone else j if homosexual practice is a moral life style thai is beneficial to society then i am also in agreement however i disagree with this assumption for the following reasons the bible clearly condemns all homosexual practices as evil the first chapter of romans is but one section which indicates this the term sodomy has its roots in biblical literature even many of those who do not accept the bible as authoritative do label homosexual and lesbian relationships as per- versions because of their unnaturalness if the majority of our society accepted homosexuality as an alternative life style the results would be disastrous with the breakup of the family system there ought to be no discrimination against any legitimate group it is not wrong to be black therefore no one should be kept from a job for which he is otherwise qualified merely because of the colour of his skin women doing the same work as men deserve to be paid on the same scale however homosexual practice is in the category of morals and this makes it something to be treated differently from questions of civil rights some among us have a life style which includes stealing their number must be quite large as evidenced by the millions of dollars lost annually through shoplifting because stealing is the inclination of this sizable segment of our population should not consideration be given to providing equal rights for all thieves on the basis of human rights ought we not to permit these to hold any job they want the absurdity of such reasoning is clear is it therefore unreasonable to hold that there are some vocations should be denied prac tising homosexuals it would be untrue to claim that all homosexuals are child molesters or that they are all actively engaged in recruiting others to their way of life however it iswell known that many homosexuals are inclined to do this a study of 1800 college students conducted by sociologist jt landis of berkley university revealed that more than 500 of them had been propositioned by homosexuals this had happened before two thirds of them were sixteen years old dr paul popenoe of the american institute of family relations states homosexuality can exist only by the recruitment of new victims like the rest of us homosexuals need food clothing shelter education and em ployment these must not be denied them because of their deviant life style god loves the homosexual as much as he loves all of us enough to send his son to provide forgiveness through his death on the cross not all of us sin the same way but we all have sinned and need forgiveness therefore we ought to have compassion and understanding for the homosexual however this does not mean that we should permit a practising homosexual in professions where his latent tendencies might lead him to rob our children of those values guaranteed retirement savings plans standard trust company 8 wellington st w markham ontario telephone 2946865 out of town call
