Sunday, March 17, 2002 12:34 PM Our treatment of Gays is no less barbaric than those who bombed a Baptist Church Might I suggest that: Hatred caused 911. It was and is the same hatred you now perpetuate with your administration of September 11 Victim Compensation Fund toward Gays. A death is a death. A taxpayer is a taxpayer. An American is an American. What moral right do we have for going around the world pointing out human rights violations when we are so blatantly guilty ourselves. In the year 1963, almost 40 years now, I traveled to Pakistan as a Baptist Missionary. As I met there with other young college students one question was always asked. "Why are you here talking to us, a dark skinned people, when you treat blacks as you do in the United States." These young college students are now the leaders in that part of the world. They still ask: "What moral right do you have for going around the world pointing out human rights violations when you are so blatantly guilty yourselves." Just substitute "black" with gay. The world has no problem seeing the hypocrisy, apparently we can't or won't. Our treatment of Gays is no less barbaric than those who bombed a Baptist Church in Pakistan this very day. Hate is Hate. Discrimination is discrimination, Persecution is persecution. It is no respecter of race, religion nor sexual orientation.
