[at-l] Letter to the Editor: Intolerance Is Not a 'Value'

[Bror8588 at aol.com (Bror8588@aol.com)]

In regard to the letter to the editor regarding the teacher who was gay.  
What does this have to do with hiking?

But to the point of your inclusion of this matter on the at-l it is my 
opinion that people need to keep their sexuality issues to themselves whether gay, 
lesbian, heterosexual, swingers, promiscuous philanderers, auto-sexuals, 
transsexuals, transvestites, or whatever expression of sexuality they may have.  The 
problem in all of this is when people decide to "share" their sexual 
expression with people who really couldn't care less about another person's sexuality 
unless they are involved in the partnership or group affected.  So what if a 
person is asexual, or active?  It really does not matter to me what the 
orientation of another person may be unless they are obnoxious about it and come on 
to me without invitation.  

So, the fact that this teacher was gay does not matter to me.  What matters 
is that he was a good teacher.  Small town mores are what they are.  People 
should not persecute others because they are different.  But the best policy as 
far as I am concerned is to keep one's sexuality private.
