Letters to the editor by David McCarty and Mike Clark
No full textThese October 2, 1986 letters to the editor included in the Western Carolinian are by David McCarty, in response to the September 18 interview with the founder of Lavender Bridges, and Mike Clark, operator of Cullowhee Quik-Stop, with concerns over why the paper includes Lavender Bridges advertisements. Lavender Bridges, an anonymously founded student organization open to all individuals, aimed to promote awareness of lesbian and gay lifestyle, provide lesbian and gay resources, and increase communication with all students and community members. The first organizational meeting took place October 10, 1985 and was officially recognized by the office of Student Development on December 13, 1985. The last mention of the group appeared in the October 10, 1991 issue of the Western Carolinian.Our Choice
Dear Editor,
I would like to write in
response to the interview with
Chris, the founder of Lavender
Bridges. I can identify with much
that she reveals about her
background, i.e. raised in a moral,
religious home with fundamental
beliefs, etc. In 1980, upon
returning to Indiana University my
sophomore year, I openly rejected
these long held values and went
my own way. I too felt ostracized,
an outsider in my own home,
content in my rebellion, "free"
from former constraints. Over a
period of time, I found that my
"freedom" was in reality bondage -
slavery to my own personal whims,
desires, and passions. That, is
truly hell. Yet, I have since found
that Christ provides the way to be
truly free.
I question the article's
assumption that people are born
gay, like it or not. Everyone is
partially who they are because of
experiences very early in life, as
well as heredity and relationships.
But we all have a will, the power of
choice. Someone tempted to steal
isn't a thief until he / she chooses
to give in to his / her desire to steal
Likewise, a homosexual is not
someone with a strong attraction
for the same sex, but one who has
made the decision to yield himself
/ herself to these desires. A gay is
therefore homosexual by choice,
not fate, regardless of their
predisposition to such. Only Christ
gives us the power to choose
rightly. In his word, the Bible,
homosexuality is clearly
condemned in both Old Testament
and New.
God is not a kill-joy trying to
prevent us from having fun. He
wants us to get the maximum out of
life. Since he has the "patent on
the human race," he knows how we
work best and wants a real
relationship with us. When we
choose ways other than his, we
cannot expect happiness or
fulfillment, only cheap
counterfeits.
I am not perfect. I struggle
daily with my own tendencies to
sin. I am not better than
homosexuals. Let*us not delude
ourselves however by tickling our
ears with what we want to hear and
believe. We are all responsible for
the choices we make in life.
Sincerely,
David McCarty —^^/^^^
Student
Upset With
You
To the Editor,
I operate the Cullowhee Quik-
Stop convenience store, and for
the past five years I have welcomed
the opportunity to distribute the
Western Carolinian. But as long as
you continue to advertise for and
seemingly endorse this Lavendar
Bridges organization, I don't even
want to see your paper, much less
distribute it.
It's bad enough to have to face
the fact that there are people this
sick running around loose in
Cullowhee, but it's even worse to
see people endorse and encourage
them.
I know that many of the
students are angry at your
promotion of this organization, and
I know that most all of the local
people feel that the gay lifestyle is
not only abnormal but also illegal
and immoral and certainly not
something they want their children
exposed to in any manner.
I feel you are doing a real
disservice to the community by
promoting this group, and you're
doing an even greater disservice to
the majority of the student body by
calling your newspaper the "Voice
of the Students" and openly
endorsing the acceptance of this
organization.
Sincerely,
Mike Clark
Editor's Note:
Lavender Bridges is an
officially recognized student
organization, and, as such, is
allowed to advertise in the student
newspaper.
Publication of articles about
the organization on the pages of
the student newspaper is in no way
an endorsement of the
organization by the newspaper or
its Editor-in-Chief. These articles
were done simply in the interest of
passing on information
