MUCH HARM IN HOMOSEXUALITY

IN REGARD to John Hodges' March 26 letter, "No harm in homosexuality":

The heading on this letter is irresponsible on your part and an insult to me. Do you realize that, with these four words, you condone homosexuality by stating there is no harm in this perversion with its immoral living.

Your heading is bad enough, but Hodges' last statement is the last straw. He says that we ought to allow homosexuals to marry. God forbid when in America we stoop this low. What kind of quality of life do we want in our country? It seems like our morals are going down fast enough already. Where will we be in a few more years at the rate of moral and spiritual decline we are experiencing now?

I would like to inform Hodges that there is great harm and great danger of corruption and rottenness from within that may well destroy us. God will not keep blessing us when we defy his laws. C. GLENN STINNETTE JR. HUDDLESTON
