Re: "Leaders support gays' ordination -- Despite local backing, measure expected to fail nationally," Tuesday Metro. Rev. Ron Scates of Highland Park Presbyterian Church says the American church "has lost its biblical moorings." Such moorings as slavery and women as...
Re: "Inaugural Prayer," Sunday Letters. It should be apparent to all Americans by now that the gay community in our country will not be satisfied until we have a Christian-free U.S. of San Francisco. This nation should not brook the...
My partner and I were finally able to attend a showing of Gus Van Zant's new film, Milk. It was a wonderful film that should be seen by anyone who knows someone who is gay. The film touches on several...
Re: "All sin, but all are forgiven," by Curt Peterson, Tuesday Letters, and "Homosexuals have no choice," by Jerry D. Teitelbaum, Nov. 19 Letters. Thank you, Mr. Peterson, for writing the truest statement I read all week -- maybe all...
Re: "Homosexuals have no choice," by Jerry D. Teitelbaum, Wednesday Letters. The controversy about whether being gay is chosen or not is a bit beside the point. The Bible teaches and orthodox Christianity agrees that everyone sins and falls short...
Re: "A Right to Civility -- Protests that cross that line only hurt cause," Thursday Editorials. You have got to be kidding me. Heck, yes, that was an angry mob chanting, "Shame on you" to the group of people who...

Re: "Pastor's opinion OK too," by Lynne Martin, Tuesday Letters. Ms. Martin misunderstands the situation. Protesters are not trying to silence First Baptist. There is no gay agenda, contrary to popular belief. Every gay rights protest I have either been...
A popular and successful theatrical director in Sacramento has resigned his post after gays began to boycott his theater. Why? Because he's a Mormon who donated $1,000 to the Prop 8 campaign. Excerpt: Added Buck Busfield of the B Street...
Re: "Pastor's opinion OK too," by Lynne Martin, Tuesday Letters. I agree with Ms. Martin that a pastor should be able to preach what is in the Bible, and gays can't change the Bible. But the Bible makes many assertions....
Often, Keith Olbermann is a blowhard. He usually brings more heat than light to the issues. But not on Prop. 8. Not on gay marriage. He reminded me that this issue is, at its very core, about love. He makes...
