I found The Free Lance-Star's editorial concerning our state attorney general-elect's bigotry towards homosexuals amusing ["The Post & the AG," Nov. 8].
Your stance--that he
The editorial's babbling on about the feelings of religious majorities, jurisprudence, and the supposed inability of persons-of-color to discriminate against others is also weak. Level of support of a belief does not guarantee its certainty.
I'll remind The Free Lance-Star of this: Current census data indicates that Generation X will overtake baby boomers in population sometime in 2010.
Therefore, the current state of opinion in the country where baby boomers roughly oppose homosexual marriage by 65 percent will slowly shift to that of Generation X, which favors it by almost the same percentage.
Talk all you want about "most Americans," "natural law," and "foundational jurisprudence," all the nation's beliefs will evolve over the next decade to reflect a new public opinion that gives couples of the same sex the same rights as me and my wife--as will orthodoxy,
