I'm tired of this whole gay thing. The thing homosexuals are failing to realize is that the United States has no need for homosexuality (I said homosexuality, not homosexuals). If you want to be gay and live in the United States, that's your decision, but there is no reason that your lifestyle should be encouraged by others recognizing your relationship as a marriage.

The pot is calling the kettle black. Why is it that gay pride week is OK, and straight pride week is not? I've heard opinions that gay pride week is about inclusion, that it's about accepting homosexuals and not about excluding them, like "those darn conservatives."

Most people who oppose homosexuality are against it because of religious beliefs, and if they vocalize those beliefs, then they are condemned as intolerant and hateful. Homosexuals are as much bigots as anyone else.

All students at Texas A&M should oppose the proposed constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage. There is no amendment in the Constitution for limiting individuals' rights, and there should never be one. Amendments to the Constitution were created to protect the people from the government and to establish their rights, not to prevent them from expressing the rights to which they are entitled as Americans and human beings. To limit the rights of any group is to open the door to the limitation of the rights of all Americans.

Mr. Davis, I would advise you to be very careful on your slippery slope. I would hate to see you fall and embarrass yourself. You say that by allowing gay marriages, logically we open the door for marriage to animals and other "ridiculous unions."

How dare you, young man? You are free to criticize Senator Kerry on his political record all you want, and I would probably agree with you, but I don't know where you get off questioning his service to this country. The Silver Star is just barely below the Congressional Medal of Honor, it isn't something you get for having nicely shined shoes.
