ALSO FEATURE SEXUALLY NORMAL ON TECH CAMPUS

THE ARTICLE by Daniel Howes on lesbians and homosexuals at Virginia Tech is a classic example of discriminatory journalism. Will you now publish an article of at least equal space and prominence featuring all of the sexually normal people on the Tech campus?

Will you also proceed from campus to campus across this part of the state and attempt to equally defame some of our other great institutions of higher learning? The answer to both questions is not likely, because that doesn't fit your obvious philosophy of liberal and biased journalism.

All of us know that sexually sinful lives exist. However, the manner in which you attempted to focus attention on them is not responsible journalism.

In addition, you should keep in mind that there is a higher authority that will have the final say in all of this, and God has spoken. Could it be that our former state legislators considered this when they enacted the "archaic state laws" Mr. Howes referred to? Specifically, we read in Romans 1:26 & 27: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also, the men, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
