What, exactly, is this 'gay lifestyle'?

Posted October 10, 2007 11:00 pm

Regarding the Sept. 25 story "Leaving the gay lifestyle behind," I'm still trying to figure out what the "gay lifestyle" is? Christopher Yuan's story seems to be more about a young man whose family disowned him because his choices didn't agree with theirs. OK, originally it centered around him being gay, but the story focused on his drug use, selling drugs, and very promiscuous lifestyle. That's not a "gay" lifestyle; that is the "drug lifestyle."

Thank goodness we had the positive and uplifting story of Jay Johnson, a man who is gay and moral and has a happier ending than Christopher Yuan, who has had to deny who he truly is in order to regain acceptance by his parents.

Your next story comparing "gay lifestyles" should stick to someone whose "issue" is being gay, not someone with a drug addiction.
