I have nothing against gays. I have worked with gays and never condemned them. My gay friends understood my position and I understood theirs after open and frank discussions that we shared. We amiably respected each other’s right to disagree and it never caused any problems between us. I have never judged them because a higher divine authority owns the exclusive right to be the only judge of us all. I never had the urge to criticize them or to preach to them…….. When my critics read my emails concerning McDonald’s, they prefer to accuse me of being hateful, judgmental, cruel, and without compassion. Even though these accusations are false and without foundation. They are based on an accuser’s “feelings” as to what my hidden “real” motives really are……..I believe that the gay lifestyle is immoral and it surprises me when some people say that I do not have the right to think that way. I am also surprised that some people say that I am not compassionate because I refuse to accept the gay lifestyle as normal behavior or to be the result of one’s genetic makeup. (A homosexual gene has never been identified.) It seems strange that gays expect and almost demand that the public defend the gay issues but they do not recognize anyone’s right to disagree with them. In spite of that, I will fight for the right for gays to believe whatever they believe in…………… I’m aware that there are people who will disagree with me and I feel comfortable for them to think that way.…………… I believe that McDonald’s should make burgers and not make politically correct statements. They left themselves open for criticism when they make their mission statements public………… Since McDonald’s has expressed a humanitarian need to be of help, then I hope that they are telling gays that their lifestyle could lead them to premature death. I know of gay people that never made it to their 40th birthday…….. No one can take away my right to criticize McDonald’s or to boycott them. I cannot support any group that encourages and rewards immoral behavior. We are all free to make our own choices in life but we all need to rely on our moral compasses to set our course.
