virgin? Apparently this column has attracted some gays posting comments. Can any of you answer my questions?

My wife and I have both been enthusiastically heterosexual our entire lives. That being said, we both made a commitment to never have sex with anyone other than our spouse and to wait until our wedding night for that first sexual encounter - and we both waited for over three decades for our wedding night (35 when we married). Through our single years, co-workers and other acquaintances thought it was very likely we were both gay (they weren't sure, 'cuz we never talked about it - as it should be). When we met and married, these people were shocked. Ours is not an unusual story, just rather uncommon. Questions: How many gay people are committed to "saving themselves" for their gay "marriage" partner? Is there such a thing as a gay...

"So you're free to hold whatever view you want to about homosexuals, but your belief is not the law." Our belief is not the law; it is also not homophobic.

"Gays are highly educated and high income, but they are not socially privileged." *Gays are venerated on TV and in the movies. "By our definitions, muslims do seem to have more rights here" *Objectively, Muslims have more rights and greater freedom here than anywhere else. "Evangelical Christians are not near the top of the list" *Evangelical Christians, unlike gays, are pilloried on TV and in movies, they are denigrated and marginalized almost everywhere you look. It's not Coliseum-type persecution, but fundamentalist Christians are treated far worse than any other group listed. Irrefutable.

The only way Christianity is "homophobic" is if one concedes that Christianity is also: liarphobic stealingphobic cheatingphobic adulteryphobic assaultphobic fornicationphobic and lots-of-other-phobics Christ hated sin but He loved sinners. He told the woman caught in the act of adultery, "I do not condemn you. Go on your way and from now on sin no more." He says the same thing to all of us and calls us to be like Him. Is that hate?

"what is the ONE thing they want to do?" Answer: Obey the Bible.

"The truth hurts." Also, "The Truth shall set you free." Think about it.

David, you need to provide some kind of documentation for that the Billy Graham scenario you're pushing; otherwise you're a liar.

Here are four irrefutable facts: >We are no longer a racist country (our President is black, in case you haven't noticed). >Gays in this country are a highly educated, high income, and socially privileged minority group; hardly objects of hate. >Muslims in America have more rights and more freedom than in any Muslim country. >The only group overtly targeted for bigotry and discrimination in this country is evangelical Christians. Notice all the vitriol and lies directed at Christians in the comments section of this column. Pat Buchanan is right on the money.
