TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is in response to the letter “Government recognition of commitment outdated” (Feb. 14).
I agree that the sanctity of marriage is not what it used to be. “Some individuals insist on excluding certain people from … marriage, but … others insist on maintaining it as the only form of government-recognized commitment.” The commitment shared between two individuals exists whether recognized by the government or not.
Heterosexuals, for centuries, have disgraced the purity of marriage. They have obtained impious divorces and committed sacrilegious acts. The church believes that homosexuality is a sin, but aren’t lust, fornication, adultery and divorce sins as well?
Alison Grady discusses the injustice endured by homosexuals who wish to be recognized for their commitment to one another, but cannot due to the provincial beliefs of the radically religious. Even though I am a heterosexual and a part of the Christian faith, I believe that the government should legalize gay marriage.
