Cayman Net News: Sexual orientation, black skin, not life choices

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Sexual orientation, black skin, not life choices

Thursday, February 2, 2006

Dear Sir,

In reply to S Pearson’s letter of Tuesday 31 January: No, we are not in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia, We are in 1340, a medieval society. I would be interested to know from Edi Turner Seals when she decided to be hetero-sexual because, sexual orientation is not a life-choice any more than being born with a black skin is.

I suppose that she also believes that the earth was created on 26 October 4004 BC, as, according to the bible, that’s when it happened. I find this whole argument sickening and offensive.
