Letter: Calm the rhetoric?

John McWilliams, Naples

Calm the rhetoric?

Just a couple of things regarding the latest so-called anti-gay events at Chick-fil-A.

I saw a sign that said "Hate Is Not A Family Value."

In my opinion it's time the gay community stop equating disagreement with hate. I disagree with my wife at times or my colleagues, but that doesn't mean I hate them.

It's a proven scientific fact that normal gay sexual relations, even between committed, monogamous and fully healthy partners, is inherently dangerous and certainly never equal to sexual relations between a monogamous healthy husband and wife.

You wonder when the media will hold the gay community responsible for crying hate so often when hate isn't in the picture at all.

President Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-A don't hate gays; they disagree with them on the subject of what constitutes marriage; and the last time I checked, that was still allowed in this country.
